The remote management for consumer 'high speed' modems on Time Warner in Central NY are also all over telnet. Raw unencrypted telnet over the wire. SSH is disabled by default but can be enabled by level 3 service techs.

For what it's worth, my modem was reporting an 8-10 year old version of OpenSSH with known remote vulnerabilities after the tech left it running.
