yes, because otherwise the contention (it's a shared access media, after all) and RF channel bonding/allocation wouldn't work. Configuration depends on what the exact CMTS configuration is on your last mile coax segment. however it's also possible to have the cable MSO push an update to cablemodems which locks out a read-only diagnostics/info page that would otherwise be available.

Their privacy policy is pretty standard. Essentially : - Anything they can see that I transmit they will collect. - Anything they can see when I use their apps , even if I'm not on their network, they will collect. - They will use that information for their technical and business reasons, whatever they want. - I am very limited in what I can request that they don't collect or use. None of this is new in the US. I think more people care about this than we think, but people don't really have an option to vote with their wallets.Even if you own your modem, the DOCSIS specs require that it be completely controlled by the MSO, right?
