In 6 months the average good quality cable modem is paid off once you're not paying lease fees. A few more months so is your router.
Why any integrator would want to walk onto the job site and see an all in one modem/router there is beyond me. I see nothing but network issues with them. They are shit. I want to own the network. Not deal with headaches from a low budget freebie combo unit.
Who said anything about an integrator or a job site? I said "MOST PEOPLE" as in the 98% of the population that are not our customers.
Are you trying to tell me that the average cable customer should buy their own modem/router/access point and pay someone to configure it for them...and then replace it when it fails.?
You will never OWN the networks i am talking about.
The original post is about a cable tv app. Does that sound like what you would push to your clients vs a cable box?

Curious how comcast and other firms will handle this going forth. Their cash cow is lease fee's. Will the fees now be per "authorized device?" its not mainstream yet, but will be soon, with others to follow. moves like this will video distribution in large homes less required and a harder sale IMO
interesting for sure! Times are a changing!

Leasing the modem makes sense for most people. Modems can cost between $100-$300 so it would take 10-30 months to break even. Meanwhile its your modem so if it breaks its your problem.
