@JWilliams this point:
"ISPs do not replace equipment on a customer’s property when that equipment is no longer supported by the manufacturer or vendor."
...was a big reason why I went from using a Linux-based Actiontec FIOS router that hadn't seen any available updates in years to using OpenBSD-based firewalls and routers at the network border.
@JWilliams it's also the reason I'm in the process of swapping D-Link switches out for Ubiquiti equipment. Nothing is perfect, but I'll take actively supported and updated equipment over the "buy and forget" stuff from most vendors any day.
