By the way, that may vary a lot geographically. F.ex. here it's more
common that customers buy their own hardware. ISPs may have recommendation
lists (or lists of supported hardware), but the lists are not exclusive.
Using something outside the list just means that the ISP support has
never seen such a box, and doesn't have a ready configuration/help
*** for it.
