Owning vs. Renting Modem
Modem/Router Combo
Hey everyone who clicked on this blog. Today we are going to tell you the difference between Owning vs. Renting Modems.
Now, your question is just based on the modem but in this blog, I’m talking about both the Modem/Router combo system. Also, we are going to stick with big-name Internet Companies that suck ass like Comcast, Verizon, Spectrum, AT&T, and so on.
I’m NOT talking about good Internet Companies like Starry, Honest, & Brooklyn Fiber. These companies are known as “Municipal Broadband”. With Municipal Broadband, your internet is better priced and has higher speeds. Look into a Municipal Broadband in your area if you can for great deals on the internet.
Big Cable & Internet Providers
If you are stuck with companies like AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, or Spectrum. This blog was written just for you. We broke up this little topic below and added in some facts you may have never noticed before.
Lucky for you this is my story below and I’m happy I get to tell it to you all. It’s important because this information is hidden away from us all that live in the United States. If you are outside the United States, you may want to do this as well.

Renting Modem and the Problems
Spectrum Modem & Router WiFi 5
When renting a Modem from one of these big-name companies, you don’t even notice you are renting. They never tell you. They just add the charge to your bill as WiFi for $10. Which was crazy confusing when I first saw this. I thought WiFi was what I was already paying for.
Nope, you are paying for the internet. The WiFi is the box aka the internet router they give you. They never tell you, that it’s an extra $10 a month. It just shows up on your bill. The worst part, they just give you whatever they have. Most people are looking for a WiFi 6 internet router in 2023/2024. You have to ask for the one that gives you WiFi 6. It’s physically free when they give it to you. But remember that WiFi for $10 on the bill is that internet router charged.
In due time that internet router does add up to $120 plus dollars a year. Say, you forgot to return the Modem/Router which is a $179.00 charge to your account with the internet company.
Spectrum Modems for WiFi 5 & WiFi 6
My story is like this but during the start of the pandemic. We were leaving and I wanted to know what to do with the Modem/Router in my apartment.
So I called Spectrum and I was on hold for 4 hours. I tried this 3 days in a row and would be on hold for that long each day. I never got through to anyone on the phone when I lived in NYC, so I just left everything in the apartment.
When I got to a different State and City, I called yet again. I got through right away and was credited for the Modem/Router $179.00 to my account. Later as the months moved on, Spectrum wanted to take back that credit to my account. I had the proof as a screenshot that I was credited the money. Fast forward to now, and it’s on my personal credit sitting in collections. And yes, I have given them time and time again the information but they keep selling the credit off to someone else.
Easy to say, don’t rent a modem and router from Big Name Cable Companies. To add on, if you are looking to change your DNS to CloudFlare 1.1.1.1 / 1.0.0.1 on the Spectrum Router they won’t let you. It will change to something they want you to have. Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 / 1.0.0.1 is free and legal to use, giving you total privacy from your internet company. But the companies don’t want you to have this privacy. What Spectrum is doing is illegal but they have Millions of dollars so what are we going to do about it?
Well, we are going to buy our own cable modem and internet routers to get around this problem and stop putting money in their pockets with this bullshit WiFi charge.

Owning your own Modem
Nighthawk 12-Stream WiFi 6E Router (RAXE500)
Owning your own cable modem and internet router is very important in 2023/2024. Well, owning your own internet router really. The Modem is not an extra charge like the Router, I think. I will call to ask to make sure.
No one needs to be following you on the internet. You have the right to 100% privacy and owning your own gives you that power.
You can get a Router with WiFi 6 or even WiFi 6E that is compatible with your internet provider. From there you can add Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 / 1.0.0.1 to your Router giving you 100% privacy when you are on the internet. Meaning you can stream whatever you like. The internet company will not be able to just throttle your speeds.
You will have no monthly charge of WiFi $10 throughout your time with the company. Giving you the power to now put that extra $10 a month away into your savings and not into this Big Company pockets.

In Conclusion
I know, it’s a lot of negative things that come along with Internet Companies. Like why do you not have only 1 option? They call that story, “The Summer of Love.” It was a meeting during the summer with all the Cable Companies at that time.
