There are legal remedies available if they send a bogus charge to collections. Several of them can be exercised without engaging a lawyer. It usually never gets that far, anytime I've had to call about a billing error it has been fixed over the phone.
The point of my original comment to say that one should not blindly pay bills with auto pay systems, the bill should be examined and errors corrected before sending payment. It doesn't take much effort to verify the bill is correct once a month.

Yes and not long ago all US citizens had the right to be married to one person of the opposite gender of the same race. The Commonwealth of Virginia use the same argument that you are using now defending it, that the law was equally applied to all citizens. The supreme court said that that was incompatible with the 14th amendment.
No doubt eventually we will knock the gender caveat off of marriage too. While we are at it, lets just get the state out of marriage and just allow exclusive legal partnerships between any two consenting adults.
Current FIOS customer, everything I've seen the router is free* with the install. That being said, the stuff ISPs give to customers is generally junk so I only use it as a MoCA bridge for the STBs. I use an Edge Router Lite as my actual gateway connected to the ONT. (ERLs rock)
*Free meaning they recoup the cost elsewhere
