Grande Communications

Looks like they have fixed theirs as well:

Your name server, at 66.90.132.162, appears to be safe, but make sure the ports listed below aren't following an obvious pattern.

UK ISPs agree to menace their filesharing users

Easy Out

Not long ago my ISP shut down my connection because I was suspected of sharing Jumper. The only proof they had to go on is that the copyright holder called them and said that they found my IP address had been sharing it. It was a simple task of calling my ISP (Grande) and letting them know it wasn't me and they turned the connection back on, but they did say that if they had more complaints they might consider legal action. I am hoping that UK ISP's are smarter than US ISP's because I am already looking for somebody else to get internet through.
