Speaking of, does Shaw get their knickers in a twist over running
services on residential connections?  I've had a personal "server"
running on my Time Warner RoadRunner connection pretty much since the
first day I had service with them and have never had any problems.
There are no serious public facing activities happening on it so I don't
have to worry about thousands+ of webhits per day or anything like that.

Shaw seems like a likely candidate.  How well do they respond to being
badgered in keeping the promotional pricing going with threats of
switching to another provider? :-)
