*sighhhh*
ISP A - Supplies a modem, says it's providing the 'service' it is desired to do. Leaves you to think about your home network.
ISP B - Supplies a device that provides both the modem and something that also happens to be a device that to your average user gives them all the tools they need for their home network, but... Also allows you to use this device to plug in your own router for those that like to do things their own way.
What's the majority going to go for?
I can't believe you think ISP's for home broadband just try to sell you the WAN side of your connection, when they spend so much marketing trying to sell the whole package.. Why did the 2ac come along when the hub 2 had resolved the poor wifi the hub 1 suffered with? Technology moved along and people had devices they wanted to utilise it with and VM's biggest rival just so happened to have an AC router. Would the the majority care about this? No, I guess the company thinks about the future of technology because they don't want to be left behind the curve, or want to be before it. I won't postulate though  |
I can see I'm going to have to be pedantic here as you have appear to have a problem understanding me.
OK I was wrong when I said "Company B" was VM but in relation to my previous posts I would've thought you would put any ISP in there and not take it as VM alone.
Hey-Ho.
Compare this to what you've said above.

Who do you think it is that develops the technology? VM?????
The likes of VM etc take a perfectly good product, rebrand it, lock it down with their own dubious firmware and foist it off onto gullable customers as the next best thing to sliced bread and you are a typical sucker for the hype.
No disrespect intended.
Your argument is based on business devlopment not the advance of technology.
