I'm happy for my ISP to be able to reconfigure my router so I can call them up and say I was messing about with it and broke it and can they fix it please. But that's because I use aaisp.net.uk who I trust for this kind of thing and not some huge corporate isp.
- Fuxy 13y agoI wouldn't like any ISP messing with my router. My router shouldn't be part of the ISP's network for it to use however it likes. I would rather take full responsibility for it and manage it myself even replace it at my expense if it breaks. Letting them do that is like giving the keys to your house to every utilities company you deal with and permission for them to give the key to whoever they choose. Do you really thrust them that much?
- Istof 13y agoDo you really trust all routers on route to your destination?
- Fuxy 13y agoNop, however i don't have a choice on that one unless you count encryption trough VPN's or other means to a network of your choice. However this is like asking if i trust the people on the street when i go out the answer is obviously not however that is a public place and not my home and I am aware I may be watched. If I were a hacker i would get employed at these companies and just exploit all the computers connected to these routers. Or better yet download the entire database with router SSID's, serial number and password that would make for a fun time. Free internet forever if the don't detect it.
- sjtrny 13y agoThis is why modem/routers have hardware reset buttons. There is no need to call your ISP.
