      Remember kids, you can buy your own home fiber router! Don’t live with someone else’s equipment between you and the internet.

        Care to explain what you mean? Are you saying you can run fiber in your house? Doesn’t that still require some form of equipment from an ISP to actually go out to the internet?

          The fiber line into your house from the ISP is needed. What that fiber line connects to is up to you. The router your ISP provides isn’t special. You can get your own equipment.

            I’m not super familiar with fiber. There’s no modem or anything needed? Don’t they still track data usage? Are they able to do that without any intermediate equipment?
