1. Is it really accurate that the customer’s address is tied to the modem/router?
AT&T calls it "Sticky IP address." A U-Verse Residential Gateway tendsto get the same IP address from DHCP, for months or years, but its not guaranteed. An subnet may change anytime wihout notice for the convience of network engineering, i.e. splitting on a new DSLAM slot, moving equipment in CO's, replacing the RG hardware, DHCP server changes, etc.
If a cusomer wants assurance and notification about future IP addresschanges affecting their IP address assignment, they will need to pay for U-Verse "Static IP address" service.
