My ISP in EU does this and theres zero impact. Nobody ever connects - and if they do they're quite capped. Capped enough that i couldnt tell the diff (but they can check emails and view webpages so thats nice for them)
Of course, i agreed to this when subscribing so theres that - and in fact I can turn it off if i want (its opt out)

- cr3ative 12y agoI'm under the impression that the router forms a VPN tunnel to an endpoint at the ISP (which is why public users have a different IP and their traffic is easily proven not to be that of the subscribers)
- zobzu 12y agotechnically you can, practically you do need to hack the proprietary box its a different ATM tunnel in this case but its initiated from the box "at home"
