IIRC - The cable companies need to be able to provide a type of "profile" for the modem to connect with their system.
My experience is that they go a step beyond that, I've seen Comcast update the firmware in my customer supplied Motorola SB6120 modem more than once.
It currently list this "Firmware Build Time: Mar 6 2014 15:23:55", and I purchased the modem in August 2010. Yes, forgot about that, they update the firmware to suit their needs.
Remember the ISP that enabled the open wi-fi on their modems. Xfinity...
