And 20ms isn't that bad, I get around 18-19ms from the UK. From what a couple of friends in the Netherlands has told me, that residential ISPs aren't that great there

So far everyone I've angered has given me a legal case against them (DDOS, residential IP, etc) that encourages them to simply leave me alone, because I'm not afraid of opening the filing cabinet and

1) If you are on a "residential" link (i.e., Comcast, for example) --> good luck, I am not aware that they will do this

My provider offers it, then again they can't really be classed as residential (any more).

It can, depends on provider, BUT, many RBLs are filtering out residential ranges, no matter PTR or not.

To my knowledge, rDNS cannot be setup via residential providers. I may be wrong, someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks! ^TG

what about a host in a country close to Australia or somewhere with good routing to Optus Residential connections? I need like less than 80/90ms ping really

Could you not purchase a static IP from your ISP, I have residential DSL and they charge something like $4/month for 1 IP or 6 IP's for $10/month.

Well, a couple years back I sold web hosting from a Dell P4 in the garage on AT&T residential DSL, running EHCP (free open source control panel) on Ubuntu Server...

Do you need a specific model? I think I or Adam have one somewhere that we can put on DMZ for our residential ISP, if you'd like.

But automatically assuming that anyone connecting through a non-residential IP to your site is there for fraud, is quite rude.

Probably not. I'd imagine those would use some sort of business plan from a residential ISP, but I could be wrong.

And certain sites don't like that, so they prevent you from accessing their site unless you use a residential IP.

One other thing to use would be IPv6. I wonder if they will block access to ipv6 tunnels, in case the government will ban ipv6 for residential connections.

Pretty much the same for some residential ISP's in the US and other parts of the world. Some parts of the US allow users to have dynamic IP's, while some only give static IP's.

A VPN provider is treated like an ISP. It is more or less providing residential lines.

The problem, for starters, is that the majority of residential ISPs still does not have IPv6 support.

Because the IPs are not residential.
