I just thought about you can also take the inverse….

For many, if not all, providers the current mitigation to abuse (and non-payment) is a full disconnect of the service.

With more and more dependencies on connectivity for a range of (critical) functions in and around the house, is that model sustainable or does it need a different, more selective, approach?
