Defective equipment and warranty information
You may return the modem or Wi-Fi® gateway for a replacement if it becomes inoperable due to defective materials or workmanship within one year of the ship or install date.

Detailed info
  • Contact the manufacturer for help or contact us to buy a replacement.
  • We may replace your modem, Wi-Fi gateway, or maintenance plan equipment with a similar or refurbished product.
  • Lost or stolen equipment may be replaced at the market rate. Those damaged or destroyed by any other cause may also be replaced.
  • We must receive the defective equipment within 30 days of notifying us. Items received after 30 days will be billed for the equipment replacement.

What's covered
  • Replacing defective hardware provided to you for DSL service, including modems, routers, gateways, adapters, NICs, filters, and splitters

Unwanted equipment
If your service isn’t exactly what you were looking for, just return the undamaged equipment to us within 30 days of the ship or install date. Also include all original parts, accessories, disks, manuals, and related documents in the box.

By doing this, you’ll avoid a potential non-returned equipment charge billed to your account or credit card on file.
