I read Scott's comment to mean "Customer Premises Equipment", since that was the only parsing that didn't introduce a conflict. However, I read Tony's reply as "Customer Provided Equipment", since that's my usual parsing of that acronym. In this case, it makes quite a difference. Clarification? Better: why not, Tony?
