Bandwidth would also obviously  depend on how many other CE (customer end) connections are on the OE. Each HFC connection would have to have it’s own account. But as others have said, should it not just be easier to run the modem into a firewall with the auth done via POE from the firewall. Many of the current firewalls (particularly home or smb type have a setting for Telstra cable).
