With Comcast at least.....

you have the option (and it's a smart one) to buy/bring your own modem and skip that $7mo rental fee. Not sure about U-Verse.

Dane- If it's a 'service' issue, just lock down which modems users can bring to the network. If it's a $ thing, be honest and just raise the advertised price of service.

Comcast only gives you a choice if you don't have their voice service, otherwise they force you to rent a modem (EMTA).

I read recently that Comcast would allow you to provide your own EMTA, but when a friend of mine tried to sign up for voice online, it said a rental was required and automatically added the $7 charge to his "cart". He decided to not go with Comcast voice because of that.
