(cordcuttersnews.com)https://cordcuttersnews.com/study-71-of-us-households-get-their-router-gateway-from-their-isp/In today’s hyper-connected homes, where every smart speaker, streaming device, and video call demands reliable internet, the gateway to a better experience might just your internet service provider (ISP). According to Parks Associates’ latest study, Home Networking Products: Mesh, Wi-Fi 7, and the Competitive Landscape, ISPs are no longer just selling service, they’re also owning the hardware game.
unfortunately, i'm part of the problem i rent my stuff from my isp. yes i could buy my own modem but with my luck owning several brands when i had dsl wasnt the best of experiences. most of the routers broke on me at the 6 month mark. so at least if this one breaks i can replace it " for free"
