Yes, most water transit companies are also the water supply company, but, in my analogy, and, in some areas, as a matter of fact, they are not the same. The chemical tampering of which you speak is done by the water supply company at the supply point before it is put in the pipes for transit to the end user.
The water delivery company runs said pipes, and, my expectation from them is that they deliver what they got from the water supply company without any additional contaminants.
Think of the web hoster as a water supply company. The household user is an end user. The ISP is merely a pipeline.
I think the problem isn't with dirty water arriving from the water company, it's the fact that so many end users are allowing raw sewage to be poured into /other people's water/, and some ISPs don't feel compelled to do anything to save other ISPs from their users' pollutants. -- hesketh.com/inc. v: +1(919)834-2552 f: +1(919)834-2554 w: http://hesketh.com join us! http://hesketh.com/about/careers/account_manager.html join us!
