   Currently I rent one for $5 a month and I would like to own one instead and save that money but I can only justify that if it pays for itself.
   First I plan on contacting my internet provider and determining what speed my plan is "supposed to have" and also what other speeds they offer in case I ever wish to upgrade which I very well might do in the near future.
   Most of my stuff runs off wifi but a couple spots for ethernet cables would be nice just in case I wanna be a hardcore cat lover.
   
   Suggestions?

   1. what kind of internet connection do you have? what is your current router?
   2. do you stream data over the network from a NAS or something, or do you just do stuff on the internet?
   3. how old are your wireless devices? do you need AC1200 or some shit

   I checked my internet plan and it says it is for 30Mbps.
   
   I just did a speed test and this was the results,
   
   
   
   Honestly that is probably the best I have ever seen it.
   Maybe it is because I moved to a nicer area.
   
   I need to call them but to keep basic cable and get 100Mbps the price is $89.97 which is a lot more than the $39.10 I am paying for internet and tv on the peasant plan.
   
   But if I upgrade the modem/router is included in price.
   
   In which case I really dont need to be buying a router/modem because I will probably coof up the money for a better plan before the router/modem will even pay for itself.

   Always buy your own equipment. A modem/router can be had for $50 or less which could handle your pathetically low bandwidth.
