gets a 200 amp electrical service. The problem with that notion is that A) consumers are hooked on "unlimited," and B) your toaster
Consumers aren't getting "unlimited right now". They're getting (unknown number of databytes)/month, before the ISP speed caps, throttles, rate limits them or turns them off for "excessive usage".
doesn't get hacked and start consuming 200 amps all day without your knowledge.
Your toaster is plugged into an outlet that probably has a 20 amp circuit breaker on it. If someone hacks it without your knowledge to eat 200 amps, it will get turned off. A similar mechanism could be built into network CPEs. -- -JH
