Lucky they at least give you the choice. In Belgium we are obliged to use the modem from the provider. We don't need to pay for it (but I assume it's paid inside the monthly subscription I pay).
Befoe this was not a problem. I connected my own router behind it and everything was still ok. But now they provide their own router/wifi combo in the modem (and free hotspot). I can disable the wifi and hotspot but not the router functionality. Which means I have to NAT behind it. This gives other problems like vpn into my own network and such.
- keithpeter 13y agoUK ADSL over copper: Most ISPs provide a modem/router when you first join, there is no ongoing monthly cost however. Some provide the box 'free' others show a one off charge. I use my own modem/router, I simply declined the free box when subscribing (7 or 8 years ago now). No special set up, just standard ADSL stuff. Firmware is special to UK though.
