RE: [PLUG] DirecTV DSL & Linux
|
Mike,
What it means is deliberately "vague" and this is why I list it in the
"negative" column. For practical purposes, if you want to use your webserver
to advertize your consulting services, this is technically a "business use."
But from an ISP's perspective, strict enforcement could be
counter-productive. It's in their best interest for your business to grow,
your need for bandwidth to go up, and for you to feel that they gave you a
break when you were small, or otherwise feel some reason to keep them when
it comes time to upgrade your service.

What does this mean - that you get monthly usage statistics from them?
They ask you why your usage is so high?
