I don't know of any UK isp's that dictate to the customer in that way
and many people run home servers for their interests and hobbies. Unless
there is network disruption or other problems as a result, they
really don't care.

It's weird, in what is possible the most high tech country on the planet
also has the slowest and worst quality internet service. Obviously need
more competition and regulation of restrictive and monopoly practices.

Tried a test from two speed test sites a few days ago, and consistently
get over 76 Mbits/second from Virgin Media, from a claimed 50 Mbits /
second line. The BT business line only managed 38 Mbits second or so,
but Virgin really are pushing the boundaries now, offering up to
200 M bits / second in some areas...
