I think i did not make myself clear.  The corrections off-list are 
valid..:)  However the modems are accessed by the providers using 
RFC1918 space and not public IP space.  This is true it does not mean 
they are natting the users..however they are using large amounts of 
RFC1918 space to either save address space in general or save the costs 
associated with the additional address space they would consume if they 
did not use the RFC1918 space.

My "Foundation" verse:
Isa 54:17  No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and 
every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt 
condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their 
righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
