My current ISP router I know can be automatically updated by my ISP. They can do this massively, but I don't know if they really do so. In any case, I can't really trust the firewall in it.
My heart bleeds for you. That's probably why my shirt is red. No, wait, it was that way when I bought it! http://www.tilley.com/canada_en/men/shirts/tech-novelty-shirt-1.html Well up here in the primitive GWN of Kanukistaniland where we have snow even now, April 3rd, there is a "yes it used to be but we changed all that". Aspiring entrepreneurs took the dominant cable company, Rogers, to court to demand access to the cable network so as to supply alternative IP services over Rogers cable network to subscribers. Yes, so long as I have a DOCSIS-3 cable router I can use any of the half dozen or so that have sprung up and lasted. The offer better rates, better service, higher caps, more options. Pick any three of those 4. Rogers is falling behind and scrambling with its own offerings, but having to jack up its rates, even for those not taking advantage of the additional services it offers in competition to Netfliks. So people get pizzed off and look to alternatives. You problem, it seems, its that you don't have the competitive landscape to offer alternatives. There's no shortage of DOCSIS-3 modems under $50 on eBay, even ones under $50 with shipping! Some have user configurable firewalls. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
