All companies in all industries have a policy of stopping to provide
their services if a customer stops paying or violates the contract, I
really don't see this as a big/little provider argument.
Yes, the small provider should be multi-homed, otherwise a fiber cut or
outage can have this same effect.
To me the only part of this that is up for argument is did SaidCom
actually violate the contract and/or terms of use, and I certainly don't
have enough information beyond that one article to make that decision.
If someone else does please share with the group.

Is this a normal thing for Level 3 to do, cut off small, responsive
providers?
