this is why providers are able to offer "business 2000" 2mb links and charge the earth, when it is using the same hardware as for the "home 500" 512kb link.


I think that what you get for your money with a business line is a guarantee that it will be up and running, and any problems will be fixed immediatly.

The contract for my broadband at home on the other hand says that they have up to 10 business days to fix it before any reduction in the monthly cost will be considered. After that they don't have to fix it, I just don't have to pay for it.
