No it isn´t, *good* ISPs deliver what you intend them to deliver: IP.
While it´s considerably easy to get the access concentrators to do all
kind of funky stuff (on-the-fly configurable stateful firewalls, really
*weird* QoS, NAT, port redirection, non-[guess,script]able portals, the
feature lists are _long_, see
http://www.nortelnetworks.com/products/03/products/5000.html
for an example) I would only accept a service where I have to
explicitly state what features (and with them: problems) I want to have.
It´s cleaner to do your billing based on bandwidth consumption or data
volume, but geez, that´s not good for marketing :/
