MAC Address Generation Prevention

I have been told by Verizon and Activision that their routers do not have the ability to filter MAC addresses that are wired. 

Verizion's competitor, Comcast, purchased a company for over $50 Million that does.  This company is located in Silicon Valley.

It is simple for Activision to write code that filters/allows certain pre-determined MAC addresses.  Why they don't have this feature throughout their routers is unfortunate.

Obviously there are some, but none of the router I have ever used did MAC address filtering for Wired connections.  And thats over a lot of years experience.

IMO, unless the router was locked into a box with no key, MAC address filtering on wired would be pointless. 10 seconds of physical access is all that is needed to undo the MAC filtering.
