Exactly! I worked in a small Telecom in Kansas and we had UPS and Generator backup and tested running full load 4 times a year.... It's fun doing that, throwing the switch to turn off utility power then hearing the KA-THUNK as the switchgear switched from utility to generator.
I would think these large sites are going to pitch a bitch.....
But at $10/month, if you can get even 128k, then that's a win. Since nowadays, dialup service is $9.95/mo. plus with not having to wait for the connection to establish, etc.
Dell did the same thing with their power adapter recall. I think only a few were reported to have caught on fire, but there were almost a million produced.
