Yes, customers can often use their own modem and router with TDS Telecom internet services, provided that the equipment is compatible with TDS's network specifications. TDS typically recommends checking the specific requirements for modems and routers to ensure optimal performance. When selecting your own equipment, it is important to consider factors such as the modem’s compatibility with your internet speed tier and whether it supports the technology utilized by TDS, such as DSL or fiber. While using your own hardware can offer flexibility and customization, it is also essential to be aware that TDS Telecom may not provide technical support for issues arising from non-TDS provided equipment. Therefore, for the latest compatibility lists and technical specifications, it may be helpful to consult the current TDS Telecom website.
