You guys rent routers? lol what. That just sounds like a massive scam unless you're getting Ubiquiti kit or something, most ISP routers over here probably cost about £10 to manufacture
They're just free with your internet subscription in the UK. It won't be the most amazing thing in the world, but it'll be some Technicolour, Netgear or D-Link thing that does dual band wifi and handle <20 clients.
If you want something better you can obviously buy your own
I don't rent routers but it is a common offering. I don't know how many people do it though.
Oh sorry, I didn't mean "you" singular, rather that people in your country do that.
I'd be interested to know how many go for that, because it feels kinda exploitative to me.
Do you happen to know if the people that do go for this at least get better than the lowest-end stuff?
Yeah I get you. It's usually in the cable ISP context and the box is a modem / router combination. So not exactly comparable to low tier routers but they're not particularly fancy either. You get your coax cable in, five Cat-5 ports, and 2.4 / 5.8 GHz wireless depending on the model. I'm not familiar enough with them to be more specific than that.
