or 49.99 single incident.
none of those are the amount you were quoted.
Another reason it'd make me suspicious that you contact a non-netgear support.

fyi, this is the community forum where members of the public help others out. We're not netgear. We're not paid. We're just here helping othes.
good luck

Sorry, not sure why it is posted twice. The question I posed and the whole purpose of my original post was, if what I experienced is acceptable? and more importantly, who can I contact that would be interested in this behavior?
