It's the absolute quality of the common-denominator/lower-priority service (i.e., the baseline). If the provider enforces a solid SLA for non-enhanced Internet, then who would be upset if they also provide an enhanced option? Of course, I don't currently have an SLA for my personal cable-modem or DSL services... Cheers, -Benson
