Perhaps it is the ability, or the permissability, of end users to perform CPE hardware/firmware mods that hoist cable providers. Not being familiar with CMTS semantics, I could be way off in left field, but cannot the rates not capped @ the head end? I'm an ADSL subscriber and I can:
cisco# set int wan0 rate down 7168
cisco# set int wan0 rate up 1088
cisco# set int wan0 retrain
all I want, the modem will never come up with rates better than 1600/544 because that is what the port at the DSLAM is locked at (yes, the loop can support rates beyond this). Not to mention the PVC will be shaped accordingly through the ATM network.
This appears to me to be more of a network engineering dilemma rather than the discipline of bad bad men who want pr0n now. You can't blame humankind for our innate curiosity, ToS or not.

man omapi. And then work the db. No prob =).
