I was at a financial startup ~ 2012 and remember getting a couple of these to play with. They came in the form of 1U servers (HP I think) running RHEL5 that each needed a public IP…

The crux of it is that competition is necessary though. Do cable companies in the US have any competition? I'd argue they do not
