Just the opposite here SARGE, you should hear the garbage the phone company here spews out. They actually tell their customers that they do not have to worry about security on their systems because they have their own NAT in place. When we had it installed at work, poor guy didn't know what to say when I showed him how to hack through it with a wide open hole that they cannot close without downing their system. Cable company here outright tells you that security is your problem, but gives you your options on how to deal with it.
