Why should home users get business class services at a fraction of the cost? It
is quite ignorant to think that.
Allowing legal data to pass without being monitored, snooped upon, or
blocked due to the "type" of traffic, is not just for business class
services.
Are you upset that you live in Europe where
bandwidth caps are rather small compared to ISP's in the US? Would you expect
the same service for bandwidth that a business class user gets for a cost at a
residential price? If you answer yes then you simply live in a dream world.
Firstly, I class that "smack talk" against another country, which some
may find offensive. There was no need to generalise by country something
as silly as this topic. And secondly, my residential ISP gives me no cap
at all, and I can confirm this as I would easily download probably close
to 500GB a month (big Linux fan here). I also have a separate
"business-class" line, which gives me 100GB a month. I have this as they
give me a static IP, and also have LLU at my exchange so the upload
speed is better. Both ISPs allow all ports in and out. So, in my
personal experience, my business class ISP is more restrictive than my
residential one. Additionally, my other business-class line at my colo
gives me 1TB a month with a /27 subnet for £40/month. So to sum it up,
I'm very happy with my net connections.
As I mentioned before, if they really feel that blocking port 25 blocks spam,
then a simple phone call should unblock this.
A simple phone call requesting a business class internet account and line will
also suffice if they want full control over their ports.
If I was an ISP all in bound connections to residential IP's would be denied.
Only http and https and submission would be allowed. To help conserve the cost
of bandwidth and to make more bandwidth available to people who want more.
Can you please understand that I'm not talking about bandwidth here? I'm
talking about port availability and just "leaving our traffic alone". Of
course a business-class service should provide a greater steadier
bandwidth with greater uptime
