Third Party Assistance

I think there is a market for assisting homeowners configure/optimize/secure communication devices. Networking has gotten much easier over the years but it is still a daunting process for most folks.

I'm not sure I'd want my ISP being the one managing my home network. The other big hurdle is heterogeneous network is difficult to manage and configure making it hard to create a business model that generates enough profit at a price point folks are willing to pay.
