I'm curious: how many of our readers (on this list, at least) have VoN (Voice
over Internet) service from Spectrum, do you have a red-box Microtik router as
the edge device for the service, and have you been told they'll need to
"upgrade" or replace that router soon?
I know there's a thing with those routers, and with some Russian hacker
breaking into them to secure them:

And I have one client myself, who apparently heard something about an "upgrade"
from Spectrum; I'm curious if this is a wide-scale thing.
Cheers,
