I have found TimeWarner RoadRunner to be quite good myself. Do note however, that they block of port 631

So what is port 631 used for other than below?

ipp 631/udp # IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) ipp 631/tcp # IPP (Internet Printing Protocol)

I haven't seen/heard many people printing from the internet.

I have a buddy that scanned his cable subnet, found some open shares, open machines, open everything, a few were even spewing crap on the subnet (broadcast, spam zombie, etc.) and he was able to remotely print to their printers to tell them how to fix it. Or if they had some tasty files, he waited a bit. ;-) So, far as I can tell, that's what remote printing is for.
