Those cheap dial up modems from Matrix lasted about a week each. Really annoying and the only alternative was an expensive dial up modem and my dad just didnt want to pay so much. Matrix got so sick of those modems that they decided to stop selling them.

Well the other reason for them discontinuing them is because Dial Up is useless, dial up modems don't last long......we went through hundreds because of lightening and other things.
