Oh yes, it's a rather common/popular trend that started a few years ago. ISP's are trying to pick devices that will protect people from themselves, or at least stem the flow of crap that spews out of infested machines. Problem is that most of these devices are underpowered and haven't a chance of keeping up with the cycle time required by the SPI filters so they frequently bottleneck and choke themselves to death.

I suspect that many of the bad router reviews at places like NewEgg are driven by this particularly annoying design trend.
