I knew there was a good reason why I don't like ISP managed routers!

For instance the BT Home Hubs use TR069 ;)

And the BT FTTC modems both Huawei and ECI...

Can you switch off remote management if you are not with BT?  EG if you're with iDNet for FTTC.  You could always switch it back on when reporting a fault.  My current router has the option of remote management but it's switched off.

The Huaweii will run modified firmware and I've perhaps naively thought that a third party router should protect against deficiencies in any modem firmware

BTOr or BTW still update modems via  TR069 It can be turned off easily on the HG612 and there are blobs out there for them, ECI not so much.

Which is the one used on current installs - the Huawei or the ECI?  Or is it pot luck which one you get?

It used to be they tried to match modems to cabs, now its pot luck. I use an ECI because I get a better sync to my ECI cab than with a Huewai HG612.

Another good reason to source and manage ones own CPE

The Billion 8800NL has TR-069 capability but obviously it's disabled and has no ISP data in it.

TP-Link got a hack a little while back, and that was via customers own browsers (cross site vuln IIRC). But then again, you get what you pay for I guess.  :dunno:
I use to have a signature, then it all changed to chip and pin.
