Reduced, not eliminated.

It's possible the BYOM fee is cheaper than the rental fee. You saw a decrease of your bill but doesn't mean they didn't charge you a different fee because they doesn't have to list that out, until now.

I don’t believe it’s done any longer for most ISPs but it definitely happened in the past.
