"Canadians who illegally download music, movies and other copyright material may no longer be able to hide from potential lawsuits.
In a groundbreaking decision released Thursday by Canada's Federal Court, the Internet service provider TekSavvy Solutions was ordered to release to Voltage Pictures LLC the names and addresses of more than 2,000 Internet users suspected of pirating movies. Voltage is a Hollywood production company that has made films including 'The Hurt Locker,' which won six Oscars, and the upcoming 'American Heist.'"
[Ed. Note] Apparently this is a dupe.

I'm not a robot like you. I don't like having disks crammed into me... unless they're Oreos, and then only in the mouth.

More props to Teksavvy here. I've been with them for ages and have lost count of how many people I have recommended them to.
I have a static IP with them. I run my own mail and web servers, and unlike most other ISPs they don't have a problem with that as long as it's done properly (i.e. no open relays etc). To be fair I don't know if they still do this for new customers though.
Once I asked them if I could have a reverse DNS entry for my static IP to match my hostname because some SMTP servers would reject email otherwise. They did it within hours of my asking. No charge.
Plus they are staunch supporters of privacy and net neutrality. Truly a class act.
