Most homeworkers are in effect self-employed therefore conducting a business. Good business practice would dictate that if you were relying on an internet connection to conduct it you would have a back up even if it were only a 3G dongle.
Had the OP had that then there would not be an issue.

I agree on having a backup, but I dont see why it needs to be specifically forbidden. Working from home will often coincide with home use so eg. one might want a 50mbit connection with the 5mbit upload for their kids which incidently isnt on the business package line up but also use it for homeworking, as long as the customer understands there is no SLA then it should be fine to both parties. To be fair to VM tho I have heard no stories of them hunting people down so it does seem the clause is there to counter claims for downtime.
