Rubbish. I run two tor exit nodes in the UK (and have run three in the
past). The ISP in question is at best misguided, at worst lying. The
ISP must be able to identify its customer - i.e. you. Try a different
ISP. I currently use ThrustVPS and Daily because they give a lot of
bandwidth for not much money. But I have also used, and can thoroughly
recommend, Bytemark. I'd use bytemark for all my traffic if they
offered as much bandwidth as I get elsewhere.

Just be sure that you tell your chosen ISP that you are going to run a
Tor node and read their AUP carefully.

Do you think there is any cosmic significance in this?
