Because servers use more bandwidth and require more management from the network provider. If they allowed servers the majority of them would be insecure Windows boxes that would get worms and eat up their bandwidth and cause support calls which all costs money. If you want to run a server go with a business grade service. You can be sure that when FIOS comes along they will provide one. I have Cox Business service at my home and I am fairly happy with it. I don't go to the regular tech support queue and actually get people who seem to have a clue on the phone fairly quickly. > 2) That's still a hell of a lot more expensive than even the best of > consumer level Internet service. Yep. You get a lot more too. -- Tracy R Reed http://ultraviolet.org -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
