At least now I know why I haven't been able to torrent lately.OR: Anyone know any good ISPs?

[Phoenician]

If you live in the North Kansas City area there is an alternative -
Fiber to the house.  NKC has spent a lot of money to build a fiber
network and is supplying very cheap bandwidth  to the residents and
businesses.  

I have  a couple of servers in NKC, if there is enough interest I would
be willing to consider hosting a torrent server stuff like this.

Time Warner IS Roadrunner.  
There are very few places where you can have either cable service in the
KC metro area (it's a controlled monopoly).  DSL may not be an option,
because of your location.  Everest is the same way (not available
everywhere).
If there was competition, it wouldn't be so high.
I am screwed.  But even my brother would prefer that choice, as his two
choices are dialup and satelite. (outside of Pleasant Hill, the WRONG
way, from all the buildup).

I haven't tried it yet, but you might look up encrypting Bittorrent
traffic.
