Working from home on Virgin Media's broadband? Too bad. Outage hits English capital

actually you pay for it

yes the upgrade might be risky but the reward is you can sell a higher bandwidth package... thats how it works... people vote with their wallets

personally I would prefer if ISP's would charge the contract owner if they got notified of bad traffic just like they do with corporate contracts.

that would force people to actually put some effort into not have infected virus laden machines lingering on their home wifi and incentivize people

having a network that supports things like DNSSEC and IPv6 would be useful not only for scalability but for network admins helping the end user track down which machine was the problem & billing, much like mobile networks do now (most mobile networks are IPv6 )
