presumably you are talking about turning a small low powered pc into a router capable of linking lan to wan (lets for now ignore the previous stuff about private wan for simplicity) with Gbit net adapters? I think I am with you.... but sorry if I didn't find the post entirely clear.
In this instance I would agree but you would require a good technical understanding plus you may also find that you ISP may well be relying on the fact that current private HW is slow. This gives them an escape clause, "it's your router".... Having had to deal with a number of ISP's professionally, I am sceptical of them all.....
I hope your experiences in Holland are much better
