My experience with CCC in the past was very positive....

Currently not connected to anyone due to vandalism to infrastructure
where I live :/

Using your own modem is I believe much better since you don't have
Bezeq/ISP potentially playing around with your equipment, at the
moment I have a Bezeq modem at friends and even though it is a WiFi
Router I always turn off the wireless and connect it to the WAN port
of a router that I have exclusive control over (running OpenWRT/LEDE).

(Not so long ago the modem 'decided' to reset itself after which I
could not get in using any default password or password I previously
set, only after using some Bezeq auto-configure site did I regain
access to MY equipment, sub-ideal if you ask me....)

Sadly usually the routers that contain a modem too don't have good OSS
support so I'm not 100% sure I would put them on the trusted network
even if they were mine....

HTH,
