Simply put, if the 'bad' firmware refuses to allow a push, the ISP will just plain refuse the MAC address. Sure, it'll be uncapped until someone notices...and that doesn't take long either.
As soon as someone from Motorola reads this, they'll be popping out new firmware to cable ISP's right quick. It's quite easy for the ISP's to push this out in a night or two. I do it for a living:)
The last time this happened to me, my (former) company higher-ups and we techies got together, had fun, then they fired us all the next day.
Watch your back is all I'm saying:)
