Ditto. I went one step further and put OpenWRT on mine.

Messed up thing is, some ISPs make it an absolute bitch to make this work.

Yup. I used to think it was malicious by the ISPs but really it’s just all the end technology is kinda A mess for them to have control of the network for you. Which I’m gonna be honest 99.9% of customers NEED. lol

agreed my local area isp switched to calix for most of our customers and it's really nice just to have a management interface to all of our customers and be able to fix it without having to roll a truck

Yup. It’s never perfect but from a customer to tech support perspective it’s a lot easier for almost all end users. And anyone else can usually figure their own shit out anyways so that’s heavily offered also.
