Both regional cable providers in our area provide only cheap cable
modems, and at least the ILEC CO's DSL is also basic modem-like
capability, although the ILEC offers a wireless option with a DSL AP
(that I haven't examined to see if it's a router or bridge).
At least one of the cable providers provides free virus/firewall
software (F-Secure).
Don't know of any hardware security offerings bundled or offered.
