If you use a 6500 as a CPE, I would suggest you buy a small real CPE maybe even a 26xx or 8xx series. The cost savings in terms of electricity bill will pay for it in a month or so.

You might be right on the speedtouch, but you missed my point. That box probably does not come with 802.1n and other nice to haves.
