    The term urinating on your own doorstep springs to mind but thats up to your self, You cannot change the router when you signed into the agreement you also signed into using $ly's own equipment and they dont make it easy to retrieve the User and pass you need to use a 3rd party router, if you do get the info and use another one expect to have your service cut

    They won't cut your service if you're using a 3rd party router, i've been using an asus one i purchased for over 6 months, as long as you inform them before setting the router up with the details you retrieve through 3rd party programs then it's fine and you waive your right to technical support should a problem arise
