Re: it'll never happen

I remember a dial-up provided who offered this kind of naked service here in the Chicago area, but I've never seen anyone offering broadband this way.

The dial-up provider - whose name I've long forgotten - was brutal in their terms of service. They basically said: "If you have to ask any questions then you're too stupid to be our customer and we don't want you and we'll cancel your contract."

That really is not much of an exaggeration either.

They didn't last long. However I don't think that it was their abrupt customer support that was their undoing. Rather, there just doesn't seem to be enough of a market for this kind of service.
