I haven't noticed any such problems with an Apple Airport Extreme router.
My service provider will most likely be Comcast cable broadband.YMMV, but Comcrap will axe you if they know you're running servers, and they WILL know that if you decide to run an exit, because they'll get lots of complaints about it.
