YES!
I've fired customers before, and I'll do it again.
For most people, being an ISP is a business. I can't afford to lose
lots of money every month. People that abuyse my system make it less
effective for the good customers. Anyone that abuses our system twice gets
fired. Sometimes, they come back, fired from other ISP. In every case
but one, they've been model customers after that.
We don't do packet filtering, all we watch is their usage. As long as
they don't violate our acceptable use policies (no local felonies, no
SPAM, no cracking my servers, etc.) and stay under the hours they're
paying for, I'm happy.
