Yeah, they did that monthly modem charge with us, too. I noticed that pretty early on and bought a comparable unit that paid for itself within 5 or 6 months, too.

When they ask about Peloton, I sometimes say no I do Zwift. They don't get it. Try to smile if you can.
I told them that it's like the Jazzercise of the cycling world and that for the price of a Peloton, I could have a real bike and a trainer. Yeah, they still don't get it.
