I hate the ISP router thing.
AT&T pushed an update that added an "Application Statistics" page to the router which keeps track of ports and sites visited and is basically hostile to privacy.
thing is - this is a rented router, so what can the customer do?
Also every time they push an update wifi turns itself back on. So I go in and disable it and then I get a giant warning email "AT&T wifi gateway settings updated".
