AFAIK they are legally required to maintain a list of compatible devices and accept any modem that is on that list.

My cellular ISP doesn't seem to be bound by that, even though every cable ISP I've been with has. :(

If there's some US law I can cite at them like a magic invocation to make their dumb combo device go away in favor of my own cellular modem, though, I'd like to.
