Oh, I didn't realize there was a requirement for a one-year commitment.
There is a $20 fee to start service, but that would be 3/4 offset by
getting one month of service for "free". Due to past experience with
instability, the one-year commitment is scary. If I try the service
again, I would be very watchful of any problems during the 30-day
guarantee period.
