My point is companies would love if you didn't own your own computer and I wouldn't be surprised if they got some legislation through to let them license it that way.
Then I guess they need to start providing the hardware for free, because if I paid for it...it's MINE and I can do what I want with it.
Your ISP already leases your modem.
Not when you use your own modem
I'm not going to rent Comcast's modem/access point combo. It sucks.
Out of curiosity, what do you recommend? Last time I went looking the options sucked (though part of that was we still had a landline and that seriously limits your choices)
