The "no blockage" policy is the *sine qua non of my Speakeasy choice: if all I wanted was "anything but Comcast", I could have gotten 768/128 ADSL from Verizon for ~32/month, and used the various dynamic DNS providers to work around the port restrictions: counting fees for the dynamic DNS, it would have cost about 37/month to use Verizon. Since I run Apache on my machine, and also have a couple of mailing lists that require web access for user updates, and I _really_ like having the capability of creating throwaway email addresses, I wanted a higher level of service. I chose Speakeasy based on the no-blocking policy, and the many recommendations from other users, both in the BLU and outside it. I can attest that their praise is justified. Bill * -- E.
