#3That's a (technologically) brilliant solution, counter to the usual stuff they do antagonizing and annoying users.

Probably other people served by the ISP in, say, the same city?

#9Interesting setup. For my company (in Aus) our most expensive cost, by far and away, is the last-mile bandwidth.

So fun! Imagine having a ISP multiply numbers in SMTP traffic.
It's the wild west out there.
