Now....from my understanding, and this is a MAJOR point the 3com contracts work a bit differently then what is being presented on this list. Please....someone tell me I'm wrong, but unless they changed their policies without me knowing I believe the contracts cost a little more then what you all are thinking: The price of the contract is determined based on the total number of ports terminating on 3com gear in your WHOLE network. Now...I don't know about everyone else on this list but just a rough guess of the number of ports we have would be around 40,000 ports on 3com gear. So....40,000 / 48 ports = 833.33 x 2600 = $2,166,666.00 That's a bit more then I or my company want to spend on a service contract especially since we pretty much just want software updates as the 1 time I paid per hour to use their technical support....I found out how little they really know about their own gear.

Seriously , its too big ammount for us ($2600 is around 1.25 lakh rupees). And nobody feel necessity to pay for bugfixes and software require to run hardware correctly.
And there has to be exclusive mailing list support from 3com. Cisco press is great and many more ways, unlike 3com.

based on some postings yesterday I know Source-t is selling the basic 48 port contract for $1370. With my great(yeah right) I can sell it to you for $2600. As you can see my price for these contract dont compare and I do sell them. So to answer your question..No not everyone pays the same.

What does a service contract cost? Is everyone paying the same? Are there deals?
I noticed in the licenses agreement that it can be transferred when you sell the equipment (I'm not a lawyer) so potentially everyone could have some sort of licenses?
Any ideas?
