Neither is your local cable company. 8-)

Eh? Of course they are. They're selling transit to their cable modem customers, surely?

Quote from a typical terms of service agreement:

| (b) Subscriber will not resell the Service, or any portion thereof, or | otherwise charge others to use the Service, or any portion thereof. | The Service is for personal use only, and Subscriber agrees not to use | the Service for operation as an Internet Service Provider, to host web | sites for other parties or for any other business enterprise or to | connect the Cable modem to any server or to any computer outside of | the Subscriber's premises. | | (c) Without Time Warner Cable 's prior written approval, Subscriber | shall not post or transmit through the Service any material that | constitutes or contains advertising or any solicitation with respect | to products or services, nor shall Subscriber transmit bulk e-mail | without prior written permission from Time Warner Cable.

IP transit has no such restrictions.

We currently buy ip transit service from Cox Cable. You can also get a buisness cable modem service from them and resell transit on it. Tho this might only apply to the Las Vegas market.
