This discussion here is really on renting or owning your own modem. As far as I can tell, most rented modems now bundle a router/access point into the modem confusing the issue slightly, but you can (and should IMO) buy your own modem. I have refused to use any ISP supplied hardware for well over a decade precisely because of issues like the one described in the article.
