Ah, okay - maybe the network topology of coax setups require this? I'm fine with that. I've actually never had cable so this is new stuff to me. For xDSL service one simply just needs to have a supported modem, though I know the CenturyLink-supplied modems have remote configure daemons running, tr69 and tr64 IIRC. On the Actiontek models that run Linux + busybox you can log in and kill those manually.
