Someone who lives in a very rural area (and is one of the few properties served by VM) would like to know if there is anything techically or legally stopping him from reselling his BB to his neighbours?

It would be slow, but faster than what they are currently using. It's a domestic contract, but he'd have no problem with upgrading to a business contract or a higher tier speed if need be.

If it's against any t&c's, how would they know? He could just have a very large family if excessive use was detected.

The only problem that I can think of is if something like illegal porn, pirating sites or terrorism related etc were used on the connection, but AFAIK it has to be proved that it was the actual subscriber that accessed this content- him being the bill payer isn't enough evidence on it's own.

Anyone?
