Stop being such an idiot, Hyman. Even under your bizzare theory that
Verizon's host contacts and "retransmits" data from Actiontec's host for
each downloading, the facts are

(1) downloaders receive material from Verizon's host 

(2) Verizon selected that material, 

(3) Verizon initiates the transmission by offering that material on
http://www2.verizon.net/micro/actiontec/actiontec.asp.

"Click the below link. The updated firmware will begin downloading
immediately."
