1. It's aimed at business
2. It comes with a SLA
3. Low uptake and a dead horse product
4. It uses nonstandard exchange equipment

I'm sure there are lots of other reasons...

They charge because they can.

And because people are stupid enough to pay.

How much would you charge for an SDSL product, and what level of service
would you be providing?

> And because people are stupid enough to pay.


Just because the product/price doesn't suit you, it doesn't make other
people stupid.
