I've been doing quite a bit of research into this in the UK and would
have to strongly agree with you. That main reason seems to be more
to do with not being bothered than bps - but I'm sure bps is a factor.
When approached the answer is invariably - we're too busy - and
nothing much changes, as for ISPs protecting their clients...
