    Ainakin Elisan Omaguru saa töitä ja pakkomyyntiä. Elisan turvapaketti voi tippua pois huomaamatta. Kukahan on vastuussa mahdollisesta vahingoista. Elisan Turvapaketti on vaikea saada MAC koneelle takaisin. Myynnin jälkeen neuvottiin asennus, mutta nyt pitäis siitä maksaa erikseen että sen saa takaisin toimintaan TÖRKEETÄ!
