On a router provided by the ISP
Given Doug's in my time zone, it's safe to assume that he, like most north Americans, is far less likely on DSL than cable, where routers IME historically have been owned mostly by users. It's only relatively recently that cable providers have bundled their own routers with/in their modems to further gouge subscribers. I've never used a router supplied by a provider, and only briefly used a provider modem.
My ISP, Rogers in Canada, has always provided the modem, going back to the late '90s. However, some resellers allow customers to buy their own. Also, the main phone company also provides modems for their ADSL customers.
same in Indiana when I was on cable. when I switched to dsl, the provider installed a combination modem/router. currently 1g fiber at&t. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode
