Re: Not Too Far Fetched said by jmn1207:Now IBM is free to lay off most of their IT support team now that they can hand off the service calls to each employees' own internet service provider.  I can see it now. Some employee will have a problem with their ISP. Said employee calls their ISP to complain, but it won't be fixed until Friday (or some day that's a few days into the future).
Then the employee is less productive, and not because they wanted to be lazy either. |

I get a 4 hour response time from my ISP, better QOS, No Caps, etc. It's great.
I work from home and every company I've worked for made me pay for my own broadband, computer, etc. I don't mind it as I am going to have broadband anyway regardless of where I work... and I have so many spare computers that it's not an issue throwing one together to use for work only. |

| Then the company should pay for the difference between a regular home plan and a SOHO plan. Here, that difference would be $25 per month.
I think it'd be a bad idea to kill internet payback entirely; might make people either more unproductive or make them come back to work. Which is much more costly than $25 per month to subsidize an internet connection. |
