I've had all sorts of servers up and down over the past year since I got 
mine (this is in Indianapolis).  No problems whatsoever.

I get rock solid 220kB/sec up, ~50kB/sec down, it's only gone up since I 
got the line.

Indy RR officially forbids NAT, but they'll sell you a Linksys router 
right from their website, but they won't help you configure it.

Same thing I was told.  Don't piss them off, they won't piss you off. 
The only problem is that they always have the ABILITY to do it under the
