There's a certain manufacturer of TDD radio where the CPU clock is at the

I'm not ruling anything out, but on the flip side, here in this group
of professional networkers, you'd think lots of people would have piped
up by now with "me too"'s if PoE ghosts killing cable CPE on a 24 hour
cycle were a common thing.
As a small DOCSIS operator, I suppose my sample set isn't large enough
to be significant but I can tell you PoE has never been an issue with
our modems.
We've had a significantly higher failure rate due to things such as
customers driving nails through the modem in an attempt to mount them to
walls, and concerned citizens shooting birdshot into our overhead
distribution in an attempt to curb the rodent population.
