Do you have to pay $10 per server you set up?

Also, by acting as the ISP, it also gets to be more protective of its log data than an outside provider might be.

It's not that an outside ISP couldn't provide the same level of service and speed at the same or less cost, while protecting the interests of the MIT community, it's just that I don't expect it's as likely.

I don't recall the pricing for extra IPs but it was probably something like that. I just had a stack of servers built out of donated parts in my dorm room hosting different services on VHosts. At one point I was pushing 3 TB/mo in outgoing bandwidth on that $10/mo plan.
