For me the loss of bandwidth was more severe. I gained about 200mbps on my 1gbps connection after bypassing (~650mbps -> ~850mbps). I also had a significant decrease in latency (~10%). Note, these improvements were even with the DMZ+ passthrough enabled on their router
The router they provided also had a tendency to both get 'congested' and drop connections.
Last, they have remote access to the provided router and do automatic, remote updates, which I am opposed to. I suspect they have other features they can abuse remotely. I want to control all my own hardware.
