it maybe but a business should NOT be using a Residential connection period. If they conduct professional business they should have to pay for that.
Why? If they're willing to accept the lower reliability of a "residential" connection and the other caveats (dynamic IP, possibly ports blocked), why should it matter if they're conducting "business"? I mean, in the end it's not like business class cable customers get a special cable network all to themselves- they're on the same node.

biz class customers do get something Res. doesnt. they get QOS on the cable network. And why? because you're conducting business. If you're a business or making profit off your internet connection you should have to pay for a business class connection you shouldnt get special treatment-just because you're willing to accept anything at a lower service level. But all of you that would accept it just for the price would be on here as soon as their was a problem bitching about how you hate the service and it doesnt work for your business...blah blah blah.

Complain all you want, you're the one who bought the service...

I know someone who runs his engineering business off of a "residential" dial-up account (and only has one phone line at that, which really boggles the mind)- some businesses don't need the benefits of a business class connection.

they may not need a business class connection but they should not be allowed to run a business off a residential line.

How would you feel if you were the ISP and someone had your Internet service installed in their office of 40 people? Hell they could have several modems from you. Instead of paying the higher price business plan like they should since their using it to make money they in return use residential and pay ~30%+ less.

But then turn around and uses over 250 gigs of bandwidth per month? you'd have to eat the cost of that. You wouldn't like it. Comcast doesn't, TWC, RR, Bright House, Qwest and others.
