Hi,
I am currently a SHAW customer and have been for many years but lately have been thinking of getting Telus 50 or 100 if available in my area. Mainly Im interested in the upload speeds more than anything.
I run a few small servers (all for personal use) that require incoming ports to be open such as 21, 22, 80, 443, 1723, 3389 and a few others.
I know that SHAW does not block any incoming ports aside for 25 SMTP and as far as I know Telus blocks most of the ports I listed above and Im sure a few more.
I wanted to ask if anyone knows if this has changes recently or are they still blocking them on residential connection with Dynamic IPs?
Also, my SHAW connection has a dynamic IP but it does not change often, if at all. The only time it ever changed on me was when I got a new Router or cloned a different Mac address on to it to force it to change. Does anyone know how often the Telus IPs change as I have a few domains that I would want to forward to my IP and it would be an inconvenience if I would have to change any of my current setup. I know there are options for Dynamic DNS but I would prefer to not use it if I dont have to.
Thanks in advance.
