- I have 14.4 Maxtech modem and I would like to say that their customer service
- could be better. The modem broke after about 6 months of use (the computer
- would not boot with the modem card in it). The company did not mind fixing it,
- but in order to get them to do it I had to:
- - call them twice (not on 800 line)
- - send the modem to the company at my own expense (they require insurance of
- the package)
- - enclose a check for $7.50, so that they can "speed deliver" the repaired
- modem back to me
- After that the modem seems to be working fine (it has been about 3 weeks). It
- just seems ridiculous that I had to pay about $15 to let them fix their crooked
- modem.
