Mark,
I certainly wasn't trying to be flip or short and for that I
apologize. To answer the specific question on a CPE that depends both
on what kind of access network you're connecting to as well as if its a
service provider installed/supported device or one that a technical end
user can support him/herself as those are very different use cases.
The point I am trying to communicate is that CPE issue not simple,
straightforward, or cheap because in almost all of the non-DOCSIS cases
we're looking at forklift upgrades.
