said by Os:The point is very simple. Verizon controls their network, and they can let whatever they want as a device to be accepted on it.
Charter can do the same. And Time Warner Cable has until recently, not allowed customer-owned modems in many regions.
And I'm not aware of any provider allowing you to use your own modems with internet/phone service. I know Comcast doesn't, I know my provider doesn't.
so you be ok with only being able to rent a locked down Verizon PC at a high price and having to use the Verizon app store with high prices.
