Worse than that: when they disconnect you, your install fees are kept and
you have useless hardware worth less than you paid. With xDSL you can
usually switch to another ISP. I know of several folks who left the ISP I
worked for, did something that hacked-of (not hacked 8{) the @home admins,
and came back rather quickly. Typically it's a Quake server or a small FTP
server for their digital camera pictures for relatives. One was a
warez/MP3 site and we wouldn't like those either when the lawyers visited.
