Well it used to be because they're not interchangeable. The one
I rent from them is a LanCity modem; I don't know if there are
others that are compatible with it now or not. Anyway they will
sell you a modem if that's what you want. And you can certainly
use a BSD box as a firewall, I do it with Linux myself... but it
should have two NICs, one for the modem and one for the LAN.
