You'd be surprised how well I can seal a box back up that makes it look original. There's no way an 'off the shelf' router is allowing this Spectrum connection. It is either"
A) pre-configured by Sagecom. You have to know Sagecom provides 1,000s of routers for people. If you think they WOULDN'T dare pre-configure a router, let me tell you: they will. S[ectrum isn't buying these off the shelf, they get them direct from Sagecom.
B) Done by Spectrum and repackaged.
C) When you connect to Spectrum, they have can access the device. Could eb an automated script that allows this, but I'm sure it's either A or B.

There is no physical setting on the hardware like a switch that allows Spectrum mobile users to connect to the router.

It is a software setting, of course there's no physical switch.

As far as TOS documents not being 50 pages, you are correct. They are much longer than 50 pages. Spectrum's TOS has over 50 links many of which are much longer than one page. Some of the links are for business customers but that leaves over 40 links.

No one on Earth needs to read all of those. The main one is 13 pages. You can skim that rather quickly and have a really good understanding of what's involved.
