Cool dude 👍

My bad for accidentally saying "modem" instead of "router." I'm used to Comcast using cable modems. I signed up for Verizon FIOS 7 years ago and it still says 200/200 mbps on my statement. I also bought the Fios Quantum Gateway Router for 3 installments of $149.99, instead of renting the router at the time of purchase. Not sure if that is still an option anymore. Of course you don't own the ONT, but it's still installed on your property and Verizon is not charging you for it either.

I generally don't use Verizon's routers, there are much better options out there, and FiOS works with literally ANY router that doesn't have a built-in modem. Using a third-party router gets a little more complex if you have their TV service, but it's still possible.
