What are they?
In the UK at least BT OpenReach modems are available very cheaply second hand and are in theory a bit better, for a few reasons. I'm not sure if all of them can run openwrt, but after some reflection I'm not that concerned by this. They will do PPPoE so you don't really need to touch them, and you can consider them to be outside your network. There therefore isn't a huge security advantage to replacing the OS, especially when they're running plenty of proprietary firmware in either case. Hopefully we can keep supporting them anyway.
