@scottalanmiller No, this happens in NJ and NY City for SMB all the time. We have here Comcast, Spectrum, Verizon, Altiva/Optimum/Cablevision, Cogent and others.
Verizon is hit and miss, most has been moved to FIOS (fiber) but they still offer Coax and AdSL to customers in areas that doesn't have fiber. So we dont get ethernet drops unless you ask multiple times or if it is DSL. with Coax you are left to their Verizon modem .
Cable Vision is Coax Internet for Businesses so all goes to an Arris, Motorola or Cisco router and then you get your ethernet Drop.
Spectrum and Comcast are same as well.
Exactly. This is the normal for SMB, not the exception.
I am not saying that your experience is not your experience @scottalanmiller, but I am saying that it is not the normal for what is out there in the SMB space.
I expect coax options, but ADSL in large quantities and ADSL where they don't provide the bridge gear? Even when working with ADSL, which I have done, and SDSL, I always found it far more common that the gear was provided for converting to ethernet.
Around here they have these terrible Actiontec (I think) modem/router combos for ADSL. Just terrible. They are stupidly unreliable and I've had to replace a dozen of them over the past few years.
But they provide them, right?
Only the first one. If for any reason they break you have to purchase a new one from the telephone company.

When was the last time you worked with this? Basically *DSL variation come as a router connection now, not as a simple modem bridge. Have for 10 years or more actually. I was still at AT&T when they switch from using modems (bridge only) to routers.
It's been several months. Not since April.

Obviously, that's always how ISP equipment works.

We did that when we lived in Athens... a long time ago. Right next door is the Coca-Cola Museum and the Children's Museum both are fun.

Interesting concept.

@scottalanmiller Some don't provided it in our area, you usually need to buy a router that supports if the ISP doesn't want to provide Bridgemode.
