reply to fifty nine

Re: What time frame?

said by fifty nine:

I'm sure most residential ISPs will also put in their TOS the usual "no servers, no reselling" clause.

Even FiOS blocks port 80 unless you have static IP, and you can't resell a residential connection.

So you may be able to get away for a short while reselling but then they'll find out eventually, shut you down and/or sue you.
then don't charge rent for the server. charge rent for storage of data. call it consulting? it just seems like a waste of a perfectly good pipe if people are not able to use it to its full potential.

this is one of those subjects that really should be taken care of once and for all with some net neutrality. internet service should be transparent. as in i should never have to call them to unblock a frigin port. its the most rediculous thing i've ever heard of.

you'd have to be pretty silly to have a large server farm on a residential connection. i'd go the extra distance and get a business account if it would give me some guaranteed level of service (unlike most residential companies). although i don't see how a "business" account actually costs any more than a regular residential account. except for the different wording in the service agreeement.
