Yes but if you start comparing prices between companies that offer basic no-frills consumer DSL as well as "business class" DSL where the only difference is no blocked ports and maybe a handfull of IP's, you'll notice Speakeasy's Residential no-frills consumer DSL with dynamic IP starts at about the same price as the "business class" DSL of the former.
In other words Speakeasy is doing what really ought to be done, from an ISP standpoint if they wish to not be bothered with whiney pissy lusers full of self-entitlement complaining about blocked ports, and that is to charge what the bandwidth costs (well close anyhow, it is still cross-subsidised). So really, 6 of one, half a dozen of another, you're still paying the same amount (roughly), it just has a different name.
