On the plus side I'll quickly pay for the new router with the $14+/month savings not using their hardware.
Had similar scenario, it's really shocking that renting a modem can be that expensive, adult son suggested we get a high end Surf Board brand, the $$ savings, plus the MUCH better performance.... absolutely amazing !
