A little follow up:

Pacific blocks all privlidged ports to their express ADSL customers.
I initially contacted techincal support and asked if they could allow me to have
a shell service at home (ADSL) on port 22. Unfortunately I accessed zeus from
some strange networks where they only allow new outbound connections on
privlidged ports.

I've been on the phone to Pacific Internet. It seems that trying to cancel my
ADSL, Phone and the rest is quite complicated. They have insisted that I must
give 30 days notice for the disconnection of my ADSL service. I told them to go
jump (in the nicest possible way) because we were only given 24 hours notice
about zeus. The guy on the phone then said that I was on a 6 month contract
since I changed location, so I must pay out the next 3 months. I managed to
avoid the hefty termination fee, but I'm still paying for 30 days of access I
don't require.

Oh well, I don't really want to get into a dispute with them. It'll just remind
me even more of what they gave and what they took away. Besides, I'd like to
leave them on a positive note, I think that most of the staff there are
excellent.
