IMHO, an ISP can't provide hosting services *correctly* if the others are doing it cheaply (read: incorrectly). The problem is, doing it this way means you are probably providing a service at or above cost - when you start wondering where all your bandwidth is going each day, and can't find it, well, don't look too far. This is going to become critical in light of the IXP and the efficient utilization of local bandwidth.
