Whether you control something is irrelevant.
If there is a hardware fix and it is not applied, those making that
decision do so representing the users who may be handicapped or
benefit by that decision.
If there is something that can be done to the hardware and it is not,
that may be something the users of that hardware have to deal with.

Few if any ISPs make their own hardware.
Instead they purchase from others.
The actual manufacturer and not the ISP is normally the best source
for information and updates.

Assuming it is a Microsoft issue, you will need to wait for Microsoft.

However if it is a hardware issue or a combination Microsoft/hardware
and those responsible do little to maintain the hardware, then they
also share in the responsibility for problems caused for the users.
