Is this particular to Comcast? In 20+ years of having home internet service, I've never rented (or purchased a modem/router). In every instance they have been provided to me for free. I've even been sent new updated ones on a number of occasions without cost.

I recently got AT&T Fiber, and I was forced to pay an extra $10/month for their modem/router.
