4 min read

Many providers charge a monthly fee to rent equipment. Buying your own compatible equipment can pay for itself.

How

  1. Check your bill for an equipment or gateway fee
  2. Look up your provider's list of compatible modems
  3. Buy a compatible model
  4. Return the rented equipment and get a receipt

Do the math

A $15 monthly fee is $180 a year. Our bill calculator shows how quickly your own equipment would pay for itself.
