    At least round here if there’s no wiring to be done the ISP just couriers the boxes and lets the customer plug them in.

      They’re always rentals though, correct? It’ll be interesting to see which way it swings, for sure. Stupid stupid rule either way.

        I set up service in a new state last year with Comcast and was shocked that there was NOT a rental fee for the router/modem any longer. But idk if that’s them being forced to compete more than they had to in my previous area, or if they cut the fee across the board.
