Hello Nik!
I agree with you, but this is normal in a market where you have to buy from suppliers. If you are selling "Kopfsalat" on the "Wochenmarkt", you have to pay the your supplier anyway, no matter if sou sold everything to the normal retail price.
Sad, but true - what does not mean, that i'm happy with it.

100% too. That leaves 17.4% for the ISP to cover all his costs including Internet bandwidth, investments for routers, helpdesk, admin, billing and so on...

and don't forget the debitor-risk! It's a typical consumer product and so at least I expect a bunch of people paying their adsl-bill late or even never - but the ISP has to pay swisscom even when the end-user doesn't pay .... with such a customer you are loosing revenues from 10-20 "good" customers just to pay for the "bad" customer.
