You can get that dumb pipe in the form of a T1, DS3, Metro Ethernet, etc.
Of course but at extremely inflated prices not suitable for most home / small business users.

Now IF they would offer a best effort service with limited support and a relaxed SLA @ competitive prices, I'd be all over it. 2GigaE FTW

1 edit		 To move to a dump pipe model, the consumer must pay the cost of bandwidth as it grows (look at T1, etc prices)... Not the flat fee of high speed residential broadband. As bandwidth usage grows, it has to be subsidized somehow.
