Then that's a completely different level of service. To get the sort 
of upload bandwidth that my cablemodem service has on download would 
cost big bucks here in chicago. (Would be nice to get back to the 500k 
upload I had before @home died instead of this 128K throttled upload
on attbi)

In any case, I really don't feel sorry for those who are running all 
sorts of high-bandwidth, commerical level usage servers on what is 
supposed to be a home service. A speciality website, a mud, something 
small no big deal, people should be allowed to run that sort of thing on 
a home service, they don't take all that much or hog bandwidth 
preventing other customers from using it.  But at gigs per hour ratings, 
it means the usage has grown beyond the home level at really should be 
moved to something more appropiate.
