I wouldn't say this for sure, many times ISPs use reference code from the manufacturer and change the stuff that matters most to them, like the SSID (think 2WIREXXX vs ATTXXX). 2Wire supplied the gateways, but ATT changed the firmware a bit to make the device "unique" to ATT. They both kept the same 10 digit password. Same goes for MyCharterWifi/MySpectrumWifi and NETGEAR devices, both use the adj+noun+x digits, etc etc.
