It is a frequently listed as a cost cutting measure to buy your own modem rather than rent from The ISP. A modem is $100-200, so you should be net positive after a year on the investment.

docsis modem costs $30, wireless AP costs another $50, add repeaters if you want.
I have been using my setup for 9 years and never paid a dime in rent of equipment.

No longer true last time I went in to renegotiate my service plan, I got a better monthly rate and higher bandwidth using their gear. I had previously used my own modem and router.
