So then you sell the SLA, not the pointless restrictions on “business” vs “residential” use.
The ISP already (even for “business-class” service) has liability-avoidance language in the SLA, so they’re not on the hook for business losses due to downtime anyway.
Just sell me an IP, bandwidth to the ISP, and tell me how much you’ve oversold your upstream bandwidth, already.
Save stacks of money by NOT:
- getting in an arms race with me over P2P usage.
- running a pointless dns proxy that breaks email.
- for that matter, giving me another email address I’ll never check
- paying lawyers to determine whether my usage counts as “business” or “personal”
- protecting Intellectual Property that doesn’t belong to you anyway.
- sweating over whether or not I’m sharing my connection with my neighbors, guests, or random strangers via wifi.
