My ISP is iiNet. They want to sell me one of their BoB router/modems. That's fine, but they don't support GigE and the default config is pretty insecure. I reckon for the similar money I can get a router with better radio performance and GigE that can be configured to have no known backdoors.
iiNet have been pretty good about support. I've been using an "unsupported" ADSL modem for years. The only time I ever had a problem I rang them an explained what I had and the tech acknowledged that the problem must be at their end and fixed it anyways. When I had one of the early NBN accounts, the iPrimus tech nearly had a nervous breakdown, when I finally convinced him there was no phone line input just an ethernet connection to the NBN box; wasn't on his script !......hopefully the scripts are better now :-]
