That has 1 10g port. How can that be a 10g CPE?

so, not 10g :)

Add in some services and I bet it goes down from there.

The bigger question in all this if you're doing 10g to the residential user,
what are they going to use for their home router/NAT device? Even 60 ghz wifi
routers top out at like 5 gbit/s, and NAT at this speed means a powerful CPU.

10g to the home is a great idea to think about, it's just not terribly
practical for most customers unless they want to drop 1-2k on routing gear and
nics. This is always changing, but it's going to be a few years until we
reach the right performance and price point.
