What makes you think monster sells email addresses to spammers? I've been using the same email account on monster for three years. that account is dedicated specifically to monster.com usage, and i've NEVER gotten any spam in that in box.
I have no problem with the concept of paying more for a 'business class' connection at home if I'm going to be working there. However, for the extra money I expect to see 99.8% uptime service level agreements just like i expect from any other pipe provider for office links.
Somehow I kinda doubt the cable companies are doing anything other than taking more money from the customer as part of their 'business class' services, though so i won't hold my breath on that.
I've used both Mediaone (for 4 years) and now Adelphia, and if either of them had been my bandwidth provider at the office, they'd have been gone post haste. The cable providers don't seem to have the first clue about long term uptime, and seem to think that (at times) daily outages are no big deal. So, charging for 'business class' service when they can barely provide a decent service to a hobbyist is insane.

Speaking of being clear, could you explain when "GNU Software" became the only possible "Free Software"??
