> they only have some level of control over DOCSIS modem

they typically issue a modem / router combination unit, and they can control the router and its radios.

Yes, but you can replace that with your own unit they don't have control over.

  • …and most people don’t. it’s an additional expense, additional work, and frankly not worth the headache for like 80%+ of users.

    I used to work in this space, and have first-hand knowledge about the prevalence of third party modems with a sample set of over 100k people. What’s your experience?

    • Nobody is arguing against that. I fully agree that most people don't. The point was only that you can.
