Re: Residentail customers are a drain on resources In the UK there are a number of 'free' ISP's
These make their money via two routes: -
o They get a share of the profits when the telephone call is terminated on their systems by a long distance carrier (the calls to the ISP's aren't free as you've realised by now!)
o They can charge a premium fee for support. As much as a buck 50 a minute...
I'm *really* surprised that the cheapie DSL providers haven't stopped winging and moved support to a 1-900 number at 50c/minute...
