We've there already. When I had my home-office DSL package from XO it was
much more expensive than consumer DSL from pacbell, for example, but gave
me the ability to run local servers, non-blocking network ranges, etc.
Meanwhille, cable contracts are pretty much written such that the service
is only supposed to be used for ~web browsing and other basic tasks, and
if you want reliability or better bandwidth then call the business service
number. I don't see this much in the local provider market though.
