ATT Chat Techs LIED!!!

I was having issues with this craptastic BGW210-700 router and I went to the chat to get help.  I spoke to three different techs through chat.  Ester, Harrison, and Marshal.  All three of them gave me different information and I was told i was going to get the latest router. Even Harrison upgraded my internet service.  How in the (Edited per community guidelines) does a company allow for techs to give such crap service to its customers.  Most of its site tools dont even work properly and now I have 3 of the same routers, two newer bgw210-700 and the old one that was causing a problem.  I will let you know that I will be switching to a different internet provider first chance i get.  Customer shouldnt have to have such disrespect and blatant lies to their face because ATT's techs dont know what they're talking about or just dont know how to do the job.  What should have been said is that the only router available is the BGW210-700 and it would have ended me going back and forth.  Yet I was promised a BGW310 or 320 router (whichever number it is) only to find out that its not even available in my area and yet stuck with this craptastic router that is using the same old tech since 2015.  WHAT I WOULD LIKE IS TO HAVE A MODEM WITHOUT WIFI!!! Like other normal internet provider so i can use my own stuff.  Again, will be switching to a new internet provider at first chance.   Also, here is one of the chats I had
