1. They cannot know that more than one machine is using a connection.

2. Gee - they must have realized that the internet connection devices
are selling.

3. That specific TOS is self serving and not fair or relevant and will
certainly be unenforceable since they sell one connection to the house
for as many tv's that you want to hook up on the same invoice - that dog
don't hunt.

4. No one in their right mind is using Win95 any more. At least not and
trying to use a high speed internet connection.

5. 4 hour leases... ;-)   Right now, my Sprint Broadband is looking
pretty good.
