As many of us know, handling such users on tech support is not very

Not necessarily true. Many ISPs charge little for set up and on going
costs, but support is only available from them via a premium rate phone
number.

Than again, paying abuse desk personnel just
so that they can disconnect your users is losing money too.

Not so much if the desk is in India or China.
