There's also the question of what constitutes a VPN, but obviously
it's not in their interests to spell this out. I mean... CIPE, ssh
connection forwarding, stunnel, ICMP tunnelling... ? At what point
does it become a VPN ? Now PPTP, L2TP and IPSEC are a bit more
clearcut ;-)
I find the implication that "residential" punters don't deserve any
security pretty insulting. Suppose they have to drum up punters for
the business service somehow, but I can't help thinking this is only
going to drive people into BT's waiting arms!
BT OpenWorld doesn't appear to have any equivalent restrictions ...

(yes, that really is their domain for this stuff)
And nor does Telewest/BlueYonder...
