I can also recommend Speakeasy. I've been with them for 10 months now and since they've added the NYC POP, have had very few problems (and most of those seem to be with COVAD rather than Speakeasy). Last time I looked at their terms of service it was basically no porn servers, no chat servers and they reserve the right to convert you to a commercial account if your bandwidth gets out of hand. Plus they'll give you multiple static IP addresses. As for those saying "just do it", I know that MediaOne in the Boston area not only does port scans, but also locks the connection to the MAC address of the network card requiring a phone card if you want to upgrade your machine (to a NAT server for instance!) And remember that just because the ISP lets you get away with it for now, once they've picked all of the "low hanging fruit", the next easiest source of money may be forced commercial upgrades.
