Re: Ottowa? Like Woshington?
Absolutely -- I demand that my ISP stop filtering ports on my service, including 1433 (SQL TCP), Netbios (135,137-139, 445) and all the other nonsense that fills up firewall logs.  |

| Yes, good point... be careful what you wish for. ISP's filter off a ton of crap and dangerous stuff, and you really do not want to get any of these problems forwarded. If you really want unfiltered connections, then it will be a lot more work for every user to stay clean. |

BTW: Last time I checked Rogers doesn't filter malicious content to users, and neither do many others. It's the users "choice" and responsibility to have anything filtered, not the ISP's. As a matter of fact Rogers suspends accounts when users try to protect themselves and or try to complain to offending user ISP.
I've spent enough time stripping off Norton [bad due to scripts and misses lots] and McAfee [just outright garbage proggy] and installing comprehensive security per user to help users get their systems back to operating and safe state.
All an ISP is is an "Internet Service Provider", this means they provide the basic connection to Internet at a prearranged best price and speed. Nothing more and nothing less! It is NOT a cop, spy agency, judge, jury or any other regulatory body.
Many developers / users use their accounts to test warez which many ISP's in turn suspend or kill their accounts. Many users trade information about all sorts of things which the large Telcos would love to stop. How would you like it if Bell, Rogers and others filtered DslReports, similar sites and anything they didn't like you doing?
It [disgusting Bell, Rogers and any throttling / spying ISP] IS a Tyrant to be reigned in as we see fit.
