This is why you never use ISP provided hardware or cheap consumer grade crap.

Sometimes you have no choice. I'm on Bell Canada fibre and as far as I've been able to determine there is no way to connect to that fibre other than their modem/router.

The choice is leave bell

I specifically did not opt.for bell becaue they literally changed their modem to disallow the removal of the component that your could have plugged into your own device.

Once I learned this, I vowed no bell. Also fuck Rogers. They can suck a fat dick too

Where I live I have a choice between symmetric 1Gbps Bell, ~100/20Mbps Starlink or a local wireless provider that sells packages up to 50Mbps down and unspecified up, but is actually more like 5Mbps.

I'll stick with Bell.
