[Cialug] Iowa Telecom and Qwest

[David Bierce]

Recently moving to Iowa from Wisconsin, cable companies have left a  
bad taste in my mouth.  I beta tested for HSA before they were bought  
by Charter Comm had a horrible time with Charters port blocking  
almost everything below 1024, agressivly finding home routers, using  
a transparent proxy and lying about it..ggrrrrr.

Here I use FreeseNotis which doesn't seem to care what I do, as long  
as they don't get a DoJ letter.
