Encouraging for two reasons: 1. You should be able to reuse perfectly performant and functional routers 2.

Onestream, the UK broadband provider, is offering every new customer the option to reuse their existing router in a drive to stop tonnes of electronics from becoming e-waste. The company has “decoupled” its service from its routers, and is now calling on major brands to follow its lead and stop locking their devices down. https://lnkd.in/esCn3eNX
