well, they should care. if a customer is compromised and ddosing, it costs the provider money (additional traffic being pushed bringing your 95% closer to your commit levels or possibly causing an overage to be incurred.) by doing nothing it may wind up costing them something - even if they can make the money back by passing the overage onto the customer, there is a high likelyhood that the customer will just jump ship and not pay the invoice and go elsewhere. william
