Yes, the need to use their modem/router is why I would have no internet while waiting for it to arrive, so I'm hoping someone has turned one in recently at the local store and I can just take it with me.
Now is billed as having no contract, and there doesn't seem to be a limit on the number of times you can put it on vacation plan each year - their normal internet is limited to once a year.
It is currently $30 per month but prices "can" increase, for which we must read "definitely will" increase, but worth giving it a shot. If it doesn't work out I just cancel it (nothing to return) and sign up to the original internet - probably with a better deal than they are giving long-time customers!
