Yes agreed, the salespeople on the phone say one thing, "Ya sure why not".  But
I read their information on the web before I signed up.  Not quite as bad as a
M$ EULA, but close.  I like the Idea that they scan me and don't evan get a
reset packet back.

I see scans of all types and of all ports quite consistently and evan http and
ftp scans from non chartermi.net ip addresses.
