Do network operators in Western Europe give away routers with Wi-Fi capabilities?

    Yeah that’s nearly universal. Primary reasons are:

    • security: if you leave it to the customer, 99.9% of them will never update router firmware, so nearly all your customers are vulnerable (or already have zombie router)
    • lower support costs: if everyone has the same router, much easier for support
