Since we hate top-posting, my message starts here ;-)

I've changed the subject line (obviously).  I asked about Galaxy and we 
got some great responses here.  Speakeasy has also received many high 
ratings, though now bought by Best Buy and dslreports has many good 
reviews of them until a few years ago...

I'd now like to expand the question to get feedback from other recommended 
residential providers - those, like speakeasy, that allow servers, offer 
static ips, and possibly have competent customer support, all at a 
reasonable cost, with the delivery methods being dsl, cable, fiber, or 
something else, like bpl (broadband over power lines).

Maybe we'll learn something.  Strict hypothetical examples - maybe we'll 
learn that Comcast, Verizon, and/or RCN also allow residential static IPs 
(and thus servers) if one pays more or asks for it...

Let's see where this leads.

Thanks.

Scott
