Exactly my point Glc. Take for instance Sprint Ion, they'll give you 8000/1000 DSL for 99 dollars a month if you live in one of the cities they service. They give you a standard ADSL bridge and a single static IP from what I can see, that's it.

Imagine the amount of worms and virii and what not one person could distribute with that amount of bandwidth.

On the other hand, they have some committee that big-brothers regular Joes like us, and if too many people run a game server or whatever on a certain port, they'll start blocking it.

In other words, they'll sell ya the bandwidth but you can't use it. If you become the ignorant bot of some script kiddie, though, you'll be fine.
