- mjevans 6y agoActual competition for ISPs / access provision is required for this. All consumer ISPs still ban "servers" on their pipes; this is a clear sign of insufficient competition.
- mulmen 6y agoMy consumer ISP allows me to host servers. I can add on a static IP for a few bucks a month and as long as I don’t break any laws they’re cool with it. Previously I had “business class” internet but that is just the name of the plan. Anywhere there was cable I could get business class plans.

The one time I tried to get a business-class connection from Time Warner they refused to offer any business-class service to a non-commercial address except for their "Home Office" plan, which was basically just their top residential plan with a better SLA.
