ISPs Known for Defending Their Customer's Rights?

Posted by Cliff on from the not-rolling-over-for-corporate-interests dept.

lieumorrison asks: "With the recent examples of some US based Internet service providers going overboard in their desire to stay on the good side of the law, I ask Slashdot readers: What ISPs have a reputation of protecting their costumers by not arbitrarily giving in to C&D orders and such, without first contacting their lawyers? (ISPs hosting in the US or abroad; based on reactions in the past)"

    Not to mention they let you run servers off your connection, won't block outgoing ports like 25 or incoming ports like 80.

    If google were to be an ISP, they should buy Speakeasy, since it would go well with their "Do no evil" mantra.

    And they sued a dutch spammer into oblivion, tried to get cable providers to open up to other ISP's, held a conference on their 10th year on copyright issues, put some money into bits of freedom, have a large anonymous ftp server with goodies for all, provide IPv6 services... Lets just say they are on the good side. They do put letters from the Dutch RIAA through to their customers though. Anonymously, of course :)

    This is not that strange, since they have sprung from a now defunct hacker magazine called hacktic. more information here
