Thus almost guaranteeing a call to the support desk for each and every single
game console, because the PS3 and PS4 doesn't have a configuration interface
for that, and the XBox probably doesn't either (and if it does, it's probably
something that Joe Sixpack can't do without help).

realistic sized ISP and let us know how it works out.
