With DSL, I am more likely to have a choice... (last time I checked |
| 11 |
[about 2 years ago], Speakeasy has no port blocks and actually |
| 12 |
encourage you running your own server on the provided static IP. I |
| 13 |
don't know whether it is still the case.) |

Verizon is no better than Cable in this regards, but it will be |
| 16 |
cheaper (and since the most important internet application that I use |
| 17 |
is ssh, I doubt 368K vs. 1m is a big difference anyway). |
