That's a bit extreme, and should not be expected of any NSP.
All I want is, when such obvious and widespread abuse is coming from their
(Exodus's) customers, they step in and do *something* (that something
being contacting the customer, and severing connectivity if the problems
do not cease in a reasonable amount of time), rather than just ignoring
this entirely. Am I being too idealistic here?
I guess this is more an issue of NSP policy/responsibility/expectations
than of Exodus suckage...
