Holly shit... Where do you live? In Ukraine we have almost no
difference (well it is different from one company to another) between
commercial and residental setups. At least it is so with smaller
providers like one I have at home and one I work for (they are two
different companies).
So it seems very very strange to me you need to justify anything with
your network operator.
