If the guy is running a business and is going to send angry Twitter posts when his Internet goes down because he’s getting DOS’d, he should at a minimum have business service.
But I compare it to someone like Brian Krebs who knows he’s going to get DOS’d because of what he does and is upfront with his Internet providers and in fact uses one that specializes in DOS mitigation. I was not trying to say professional gamers are bad people or anything like that. I love Brian Krebs, but would not sell him an Internet connection.

The term “attractive nuisance” comes to mind. In addition to DOS attacks, wasn’t there a rash of swatting attacks against Twitch players, where the SWAT team would bust into their house while they were streaming?

About the same time a tower site goes down. Start investigating the outage and find >100Mbps flooding the tower from a DOS attack. Track down the IP/Customer it’s aimed at. Hey, wait a minute, isn’t that the guy complaining on twitter? Oh yeah. Claims to be a professional call of duty player who gets paid. Really?

There's a competitor in my area with outages or degraded service as normal ops (it's a feature not a bug) and their customers largely seem to accept it. ~Seth -- Joshua Stump Network Administrator | Fourway.NET | 800-733-0062
