    Oh sorry, I didn’t mean “you” singular, rather that people in your country do that.

    I’d be interested to know how many go for that, because it feels kinda exploitative to me.

    Do you happen to know if the people that do go for this at least get better than the lowest-end stuff?

      Yeah I get you. It’s usually in the cable ISP context and the box is a modem / router combination. So not exactly comparable to low tier routers but they’re not particularly fancy either. You get your coax cable in, five Cat-5 ports, and 2.4 / 5.8 GHz wireless depending on the model. I’m not familiar enough with them to be more specific than that.
