Except ISPs dont give you modems anymore, they give router/modems you can have the router you want but you are forced to use the one they give you

Unfortunately this is the case I'm seeing happening more. I would love to use a router of my choice, but then I would lose the TV service (Telekom, Hungary). And it's not just about the freedom of mine to choose the hardware, but the features their one is lacking.

Also with the TV box I got from them 2 yrs ago, I can feel and see that's is miles behind my 2015 (!) Shield TV.

So yeah, ISPs giving out crappy hardware and force you to use it, is my nr. 1 gripe.
