@Home bans VPNS

Yes, in effect, your local cable company is a "franchisee" of @HOME.  There are a couple of major competitors to @HOME, like RoadRunner.  Some cable companies choose to do it entirely on their own.  The "franchisees" set-up the local heads, install infrastructure equipment, then run a fat pipe back to @HOME, which provides the DNS, DHCP, hosting and all other related services.  Your local cable company provides the first level support, to eliminate local infrastructure problems and low-end operator headspace problems.  Second level support is @HOME staff.

Hope this clarifies.

You may have to enlighten most of us as to the differences.  Are you
saying that there are @Home "franchisees"?
