Frontier: if you don't buy your router, we'll charge you a rental fee; if you DO buy your router, we'll charge you a "support" fee

You can buy off the shelf MOCA bridges if you really want that PPV content. I thought Verizon’s PPV offering were badly overpriced so it was never a concern for me. The guide data still works. I ditched Verizon’s TV service several years ago but I doubt much has changed in the meantime.
