Paying $100 to Centurylink for their modem partially defeats the purpose especially since there are cheaper options available.
They are making a lot of money off of people by charging rental fees. At $15 a month for rental fee you basically pay $100 for your modem in 6 months. Every month you retain service after that is pure profit for centurylink. (Well probably way before that, these modems probably only cost them a couple dollars since they order them in bulk from china.)
Too be clear your suggestion is good, but I just don't feel giving Centurylink more money for attempting to screw people is a good idea since there are cheaper options available.
Here's an example of a used one that's only $50.
tl;dr Scour the internet for VDSL2 modems and profit. Maybe Centyurylink will start providing DSL modems for free like Verizon does.
