Not fair to ISPs

I don't normally side with large corporations, but I see where this is going. I don't blame ISPs for getting upset about this (and they will be). It doesn't seem right to charge a single dwelling consumer pricing only to have them provide access for multiple addresses.

You've got a good point, but there is the other side of the issue. People pay for a specific speed tier that they can use any way they see fit. I used to provide a free wireless AP limited to 56k. I thought it would be nice for an emergency. If someone wanted to reserve a room online, or move some money around their bank accounts. Maybe even find better direction online. Stuff like that. I stopped only because I moved and there was already a free wireless AP in the area provided by the local coffe shop. Sometimes it's good to be nice.
