I think i did not make myself clear. The corrections off-list are
valid..:) However the modems are accessed by the providers using
RFC1918 space and not public IP space. This is true it does not mean
they are natting the users..however they are using large amounts of
RFC1918 space to either save address space in general or save the costs
associated with the additional address space they would consume if they
did not use the RFC1918 space.

My "Foundation" verse:
Isa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and
every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt
condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their
righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
