What they want to do is, "charge premium customers more." There are
various bad ways to do this, e.g. charge per address, which leads to
NAT, or charge to enable some VPN technology, which leads to using an
alternative technology. "Better tools" would be good ways to do this,
e.g. different subscription parameters that translate into variations of
diffserv, different polling rates for a cable modem, etc.
