WHY YOU SHOULD STOP RENTING YOUR WIFI ROUTER

The Hidden Cost of Router Rentals

I've been writing about broadband for over half a decade, and I like to think that means I can call myself something of an expert on the subject. Yet, despite my expertise, I carried around a shameful secret: I rented a Wi-Fi router from Xfinity for years.

Now, I know that I've always advised readers to purchase their equipment. But my rented modem and router worked fine, so why change something that isn't broken? That being said, I did know in the back of my mind, I was wasting money. And that had to change, and that meant buying a new router of my own.

"For most people, a monthly charge of $15 for internet equipment doesn't seem too bad when you're signing up for a new internet connection. In fact, it seems the smart thing to do to avoid the stress of purchasing your own router and keeping it in good condition."

But the reality is that, after a few years of paying that monthly fee, it starts to add up — and you'll have wasted hundreds of dollars on equipment that you could have purchased yourself.

The Shocking Math

One Verizon customer stated she'd been paying around $18.00 monthly for over 30 years. She cried about the money she lost. She paid over $6,400! Now she owns a Dragon Router and is saving money every month.
