Their bias is that this may motivate people who want to run a home-server no
matter what to jump to their business tier DSL, which, naturally, costs more
for essentially the same connection, just with port 80 open.  IMHO, it's
border-line fraud because they are charging more for practically no change
in service (upload and download speeds are the same at the first
business-level tier, but there are I think 3 tiers of business service
total), but that's want deregulation has given us.

And yes, I am a Verizon/Fair Point home DSL customer.  I will happily and
gratefully admit that the service, for what it is, has been reliable,
