BT will charge �40/month for a 128k/upstream and 1.5mb/sec downstream
version of ASDL. This is what ISP's have to pay, they then add their own
fees, likely to be quite a lot as you use up a lot more services and
bandwidth that a normal modem users does, plus you have constant
connection.
I'm sure you are right, they will stop you using servers. Cable modems
from NTL do it by not giving you a fixed IP, although you could write
software to cope with this.
ISDN is just too expensive, plus it's not on all the time.
