I had to change my modem and wireless router out about every 2-3 years
If you have one that lasts 10 years, you are insanely lucky and your equipment is probably horribly out of date.

Buy your own. 100%. Which one simply depends on which speed tier you have.

I bought my own modem and router. Much cheaper of the long-run. The only caveat
