Actually, I said that, not Jason. Jason just used mail software that *can't get quoting right* to reply to my message, so your quote of his message got the attribution wrong. What *is* it with you people? This is *NANOG*. In *2012*. ;) (The truly sad part is that based on the User-Agent: headers, Jason appears to have used a *different* broken mail software package than the last person. So at least 2 vendors are doing stupid stuff.) </rant> ;)
Depending on your internet connection to be able to dial 911 is a bit foolhardy, to put it nicely.
Foolhardy or not, it's probably unwise for an ISP to say "It's OK, *nobody* would be that foolhardy" and snip the service...
