In the old days (5-6 years ago?), you were being sneaky if you used a
router--this is in the US, with Roadrunner.  They acknowledged,
eventually, that it was common, and their terms of service specifically
allow it.  Verizon used to (don't know what they do now), provide a
modem-cum-wireless-router when you got their service---this was with
DSL, I assume they do the same with FIOS.
