Relocating to Toronto

[Noah John Gellner]

I use Golden.net as an ISP. They have no download limits and I haven't
had any problems with ports being blocked. My DSL service is 35$/month
and includes 24/7 tech support. They don't officially support users who
run their own servers. I don't have a static IP.

They don't block any ports and have no problems with typical business traffic. This new ISP is called istop (just check out istop on google), but i use rogers downtown and i'm free to use port 25.
