This better have an opt out option.

Yeah...I'm going to say this as clearly as possible.
Netgear, this is NOT OK.
If you want me to create a support package when I ask for it that includes _some_ of this data, that is acceptable and warranted.
Doing it as a matter of course for "service improvement" reasons is bull**bleep**, EVEN IF YOU CAN OPT OUT, because you know and we know that it will be enabled by default, and most customers not only won't, they won't even be aware it's there.
KNOCK. THIS. OFF!
