ratchet Posted March 19, 2007 CID Share Posted March 19, 2007 So, I get this email today offering zoomshare for up to four computers for $5, including the router. I've been using my own router for over two years now. The wireless option is enabled when one of my four children are home, which occurs over holidays and some weekends. Did they recognize that I'm already using a router from the MAC address? Can they stop me from using it? I've never seen a defined policy. Indeed, when the original Modem went and they installed a new one, they saw I was using a router, although their techs may not give a hoot! What do you think? Thanks!

just- Posted March 19, 2007 CID Share Posted March 19, 2007 I have never heard of a company prohibiting u from installing ur own router and sharing it with YOUR family. its not that u are reselling it to anyone or making it open to the public, so dont take any crap man ur safe dont worry as long as u keep it for personal use since i presume u got a personal connections safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seymour06 Posted March 20, 2007 CID Share Posted March 20, 2007 Did it say they wanted $5 a month to rent it to you? Like a cable modem rental Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratchet Posted March 20, 2007 Author CID Share Posted March 20, 2007 Did it say they wanted $5 a month to rent it to you? Like a cable modem rental I presume that is what the add means. In over two years since they took the franchise over I've never had one email from them, so I thought it was kind of odd advertising this "ZoomShare" deal. I'm actually quite satisfied with them overall! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted March 20, 2007 CID Share Posted March 20, 2007 If the email didnt say that you had to use that equipment then dont worry about.. My guess that your ISP just signed a contract with zoom to provide equipment... You should be able to run your setup as it is right now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
