Just not as many people use Linux so not as many people trying to exploit the massive amount of users MS has.

Way too many machines get infected and become zombies. And almost no ISPs do a thing about it. I doubt Qwest will be any different. Which is too bad. That is one TOS that I wish all ISPs would enforce. It would make a big difference in reducing the amount of SPAM.
So let's see. You get hit by the WMF 0-day exploit, when there was nothing you could do to prevent it. It installs a spam-sender, which pumps out 100,000 spams. You get a bill for half a million dollars. That hardly seems fair.

And consider this. Legally, if Qwest is going to enforce this, they can't just sit back and let huge bills accumulate. When it becomes reasonably clear that an account is sending spam, Qwest has an obligation to cut off service or at least warn the customer. Now if Qwest did that, it would really make a difference. But of course they won't.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15204365 Mon, 09 Jan 2006 09:51:01 EDT Too bad they won't actually enforce spam ban http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15204328 TKJunkMail : Way too many machines get infected and become zombies.

As for the other restriction, except for imposing them on 3rd party providers, they are pretty std:
no excessive network use(purely determined by them)
no servers
no sharing line with others outside residence(no hotspots)

This is pretty much the same rules imposed by most ISPs.
