Just a marketing-sort-of-practise. . . .  Actually, the situation is
probably that the `upgradable' modems have a different (heftier) power

(The TB+ modems we bought last year are not going to be upgraded, but
we do not care.  We can afford to throw them out, for they have already
paid for themselves.)
