And also isn't that widely available.  I've known a number of people
who wanted to get Speakeasy DSL, but were unable to.  They are the
only high-speed provider in the area I am aware of which does not have
such a TOS, so I have to agree with Rich that there generally are a
lack of options...

You just happen to be lucky enough to have the only real option
available.

What's the difference?  You need the port unblocked to run a mail
server...
