ISP-supplied routers & modems are typically cheap & low quality so have a tendency to get too hot which in turn affects performance.

I would seriously consider buying a third-party one that's of a higher quality - look at the ones that can be fastened to a wall, that helps to keep them much cooler compared to those which just sit on a desk.

If it's DOCSIS and they let you bring your own. You can get a DOCSIS 3.0 for $40-60. No reason to pay $5-10/mo for that. esp if they aren't resolving issues quickly which is the main reason for paying to rent.
