Reflashing most CPE amounts to forklifting. The difference between
having them bring their CPE in to be reflashed or rolling a truck
to do same vs. replacing the CPE will, in most cases, actually render
replacing the CPE cheaper.

So can replacing the CPE, but, neither is a particularly attractive
alternative for many providers.
