Umm my ISP does. I made the stupid decision to port scan UUnet and my ISP called 24hrs later saying UUnet contacted them saying i was scanning such and such ports on their network why was i doing that. I played it off like a virus must have been doing it.

Qumahlin Never Enough Time Premium,MVM join:2001-10-05 united state	Re: ummmmmm............ Thing is UUnet is not much of a "residential" isp...UUnet provides mainly to large businesses and is also a backbone provider. A call from a backbone provider to your isp is way way different then just another isp or customer calling -- Forum Posts:4100

No true Justin. We take illicit port scanning activities very seriously. While I can not divulge our exact policy, I can assure you that lots of people have been booted off our network for port scanning activities.
