It feels dirty to agree with an ISP on something. But even the worst corporations are on the right side of something from time to time I suppose.

It’s without a doubt motivated by their own loss of revenue but a consumer friendly take is still commendable

Nope, they just don’t wanna be bothered. But if it’s a win it’s a win.

It’s less work and cost for them if they don’t have to do this.

ISPs can’t take your money if they cut off your internet
