The TOS is pretty much open-ended, they could decide at any time to cut your line if your usage is high(according to them). How many people actually have the TOS enforced on them? |

If that comment was directed at houkouonchi, he runs VPN tunnels to his servers. So in that regard, all Verizon can see is encrypted point-to-point traffic, not an open server.
If you were pointing that to someone else, then, um, well.... please disregard. |

said by ScrawnyB:I don't see what paying the extra money for really affords you Because it gives you an IP in a block not automatically banned by the rest of the world as a dynamic address. (a problem if you want to run your own mail server.) It also means some amount of downtime every time your address changes -- a) how long it takes to notice, b) how long it takes to find the new address (hard to do remotely), and then c) how long it takes to update DNS, and that change propagate.
(My office is currently behind a dynamic address. I loath the day TWC changes it and I have the week long argument with IT on the other side of the planet, just to get him to type an address into the checkpoint dashboard.) |
