Even it it is unbelievable, but regardless if it is, or isn't, this is the only way I'm going to be upgraded when the time comes, at least according to support staff once newer equipment has been acquired any package and foreseeable speed is compatible.If it is needed, they will tell you.
Don't rent.Same monthly payment plus new equipment rental begets higher speed packages.
Don't rent.
Buy the same one. I did.
For me, a rental at $10/month was overcome in 10 months after purchase.
YMMV with whatever 'outdoor router' you have.
Go find a better ISP.
If you live in an affluent neighborhood, chances are you can get up to 2GB/second connection. Otherwise, you are stuck with the telephone line DSL of up to 60 mps but marketed as up to 140 mps. Strangely, the cost between the two speeds not that much more. It just how things are.
That is an outrageous price! I live an a city in my country and I only have to pay 12$ Per month for a fiber 500Mbps\500Mbps plan. I suppose living in the mountains isn’t very good if you want the best internet speedsThanks much appreciated.
Was also wondering if forums members can share what they pay and for how much they get: explained speed and data received and transmitted per month.
I for instance have a 4Mbps\1Mbps connection at the moment and I pay $25.00 per month and use about 500+Gb received and transmitted, it's an uncapped package, but it gets throttled every day when 6.6gb has been reached.

I also have to mention that my isp is the best isp in my country with the highest ookla cellular speeds. There are only 3 or 4 isps in my country but there should be enough for isps to compete against each other for the fastest and cheapest price. In your case, there might not be enough competition for your isp to try to keep up to.Alright, thanks for telling me what you pay and what you get for it, helps with my calculation toward a future upgrade, my ISP is working tirelessly to gather more clients to make faster speeds available, and someday I should be able to get world standard service here, things have come along nicely so far.

I pay $70 month for 50down/2 upload on a 2 pair bonded modem DSL. Real world is 35-40 down and 1.5 up.
Been paying this price for about 20 years since DSL became available to us.. Originally we had 1mbps down/ .256upload.
Over the years as speeds increased we got automatically upgraded.
We do not have any choice in providers.
It is Windstream or nothing.
Satellite is also not an option. I refuse to cut 2-300 year old trees for satellite service.
The joys of rural living.
