I fear that edge does not mean what you think it means anymore.For 5 9's worth of eyeball networks hanging off consumer-grade ADSL and cable connections, it's still the edge and still trivially filterable. If that's a problem, the ISP can upsell a business-class connection that doesn't filter. ;)
C'mon guys: the edge is where people who *source and sink* packets connect to people who *move* packets. There may be some edges *inside* carriers, but there is certainly an edge where carriers hook up customers. And no, this should apply to business-grade connections as much as resi.
