From the ISP side, I can tell you that when a customer signs up for service and you offer them a couple of choices of wireless routers, they almost always pick the cheapest one. If you give them a reasonable / good router when you hook-up their service, some will still put their old 15-year old netgear back in place after the install crew leaves because they 'like it better' or they think it's faster. -----Original Message----- From: "Mark Tinka" <mark@tinka.africa> Sent: Tuesday, June 1, 2021 12:45am To: nanog@nanog.org Subject: Re: New minimum speed for US broadband connections On 6/1/21 02:19, Eric Kuhnke wrote:

Many times provided by the ISP. Between turning up new customers everyday, and fixing problems with pre-existing ones, ISP's tend to do the absolute minimum with the AP's/routers they supply. Mark.
