The whole honour idea is a good one, but not really something that has caught on in the UK. Despite popular beliefs us Brits would much rather see ourselves do well then a big company.

In the eyes of our friends and colleuges as well we would look l337 for breaking the ISP rules, not dishonourable for going against a chaining contract.

The law thing would worry us more, but you'd have to be pretty dense to get caught. Also, for us in the UK, we're lucky enough to have pretty lazy enforcers of such things and nothing would ever happen.

You know it's illegal to add things like socket doublers and extension cables to a BT phone line without their permission? The thing is though, everybody does, I myself must have about 200 meters of extra cable in my house alone.
