Yeah, I may end up altering it if I find that 40 hours isn't enough.
So I'm looking at the combo models here:

None of them have free service though. I'm wondering where Null bought his because I'm thinking that the $299 he payed for his went towards the lifetime service, which you can buy. Because I don't think he could connect to their service and not be billed or anything unless he payed that lifetime service fee. Maybe he got some sort of special deal though? We'll wait here and have him clear this confusion up.
