Don't many ISP's also offer the babysitting service for your computer?  That
is, take your box to the ISP's actual building and leave it there (plugged
in).  Administer the box remotely.  Only time you need the ISP people is
when you want someone to hit the power switch for you.

If you can find a service that does this (and I know they exist), you'll
have a more stable connection and better access speed for your clients.

Then you do what you do best (maintain the right software for your server)
and they do what they do best (watch der blinkenlights).
