The HG612 was provided by Openreach, not the ISP. They stopped doing that several years ago.
You now get a VDSL2 router from your chosen ISP. Depending on what it is, it may or may not work with your next ISP, which will usually provide one to replace it.
With BT and Sky they are free, and AIUI the BT one is returnable. I don't know about the Sky one.
