We had similar discussion ca. 2007, and the result was "the jack on a cable belongs to the ISP, the socket on a network device belongs to the customer".

That's correct: their equipment converts *DSL or optical link to the copper ethernet, and there's the ISP's ethernet cable between the ISP's converter and the customer's router.

So the modem _must_ be just a bridge - it _must_ _not_ be a router.
