1) In theory you are right. In practise it is not that black and
white. We never buy an excisting product, we buy an future product
which has to be developed for us. That include physical features
which may not have beed release from Broadcom yet (11ac 3x3 we were
the first mass order from Broadcom for example). That means that we
usualy have an development periode with the vendor, and a release
target (VDSL launch for example) Sometimes the have to rush the CPE
side to meet the network side launch. This again means that we
usualy
launch with a fair number of bug and un-optimized software, and
features missing. And since we don't buy in Comcast type volumes we
don not have the purchasing power to instruct the vendors to do
absolutly everything, we have an limited development team working for
us and we have to prioritize what they should work on. And so far
UPnP has not gotten above that treshold.
(And the above is a bit besides the point, we seem to be the only ISP
who want UPnP. That don't help our customers a lot. In order for
UPnP to work you also need support in the clients, and those we talk
to who do develop clients badly want to get away from UPnP)
... that has been said with regard to everything related to IPv6 for
nearly 20years. When will we stop using it as an excuse?
Someone has to be the first, even if it's just for the show and there
are no client side client.
