Oof. With the power especially, I can see why you would make that call. On the positive side, they're ripping you off much less than our ISPs do in the States.

Oof. With the power especially, I can see why you would make that call.
On the positive side, they're ripping you off much less than our ISPs do in the States. They usually charge $10-20 a month here for some device which is usually using technology from about 5 years ago (when it's first installed, that is - they don't swap you a new one when technology improves of course, unless you raise a fuss AND they've actually adopted a new model).
I will admit, sometimes it's tempting because you could in theory expect them to support their company-owned hardware. But in practice for us that just means we can complain at some minimum wage call center "tech support" about how the device stops working until rebooted X times a week, and they will offer the choice to reboot it again or to make an all-day appointment for some installer to show up with another identical refurbished modem/router/AP that will have the exact same buggy software.
