Comcast and Verizon and similar provider Terms Of Service are rather
restrictive, but are probably fine for a typical consumer. Not being a
typical consumer, I passed on their services and went with Cyberonic. They
offer DSL that is faster than what Verizon offers (over Verizon's wires),
let me share the connection, and let me run servers. I've got about 50G of
stuff on the server now, so it'd cost a bit to host that somewhere else.
Also, I have complete access to the server, making it easy for me to write
scripts, test them, mess with config files, etc. It's my way to learn
Linux!

So, Cyberonic serves me well. Verizon and Comcast missed out on one sale,
but they seem to be pretty popular with my neighbors (by looking at all
the open wireless access points... I can log into my ssh server through
them and see the IP address I came in on).
