These modems can handle speeds that won't even be needed for 10+ years from now, and only if all my TV's are streaming 8k.
Exactly. You also save time, because you hook it all up yourself instead of having some stranger in your house messing with cables and with your computer and such. If I need something with my computer that I can't figure out myself or get help with troubleshooting over the phone, I'll pick up my computer and bring it to the repair shop. This isn't rocket science, you don't even need a high school diploma to figure it out.
