Not to throw any more gasoline on the fire with this, but you posted "People who use and recommend Microsoft don't deserve to complain about bandwidth".
Will, you just seem to have much different thought processes than most other people. I frequently fail to understand them, because they seem immature (e.g. I want unlimited bandwidth to download whatever I want including copyrighted material, 0 ms latency for my apps, and I also want Cox to give that to me for $10 a month while removing all botnets from their network, All information should be free, because I say so, Windows users are inferior as human beings, etc) I would like to gently remind you that you are currently violating Cox's TOS (line item 6) by hosting a web server on port 1024.
