said by Bry:This really isn't funny, Cogeco_Aaron or whomever else is here representing Cogeco.. a comment about these NAT-only modems would be very much appreciated. Not everyone, especially people who are knowledgeable, are going to be happy about having to use crippled modems.
A lot of people would prefer to use their own devices to handle routing and NAT, i.e: a device running BSD or Linux.
Please tell me that there will be non-combination DOCSIS3 modems available for someone upgrading from say.. the "professional" tier when the time comes.

wait, what? this is his modem? oh lordy.
cogeco told me that (as a business customer), if i want a static IP, i have to use a cisco box between my modem and my PC-based router... so if i want to switch to DOCSIS3, i'll need to triple-nat my stuff? teksavvy is really looking like a good switch right about now.
