Infomaniak is listed in the France section but it's a swiss company.

There is an 18-year-old record (updated in 2008!) about TekSavvy in Canada. The internet was different place back then. This info wouldn’t even relevant anymore as TekSavvy has since taken a business-centric approach in the interest of survival.
This list is fluffed up, without any checking for veracity. GIGO type of situation.

I would recommend the Wayback machine archive instead: https://web.archive.org/web/20260306172113/https://community...
Given that archive.is is known to DDOS and alter archives (See all the recent HN posts about them)

The life of the owner of archive.is is directly threatened by the people they are ineffectively attacking back, so I'm not sure I can really blame them.

The turfing with this topic is strong and needs to be called out. Reliable sources are crucial now more than ever. We cannot tolerate and promote botnets once they are uncovered.

I'm perfectly happy to continue using archive.is for so long as it remains functional.

archive.org outright removes large numbers of pages, including political content; archive.is has edited a handful of pages to redact the doxxing of the archive.is owners.

Thank you for sharing this, I was previously unaware of this table. While I don't plan on running a Tor node on any VPS or residential ISP, an option to do so signals that they value their customers. I will cross reference this table when picking out my next VPS at the very least.

If you are on the other team, this is also a good list if you want to avoid bad neighbors.
Hosts that don't ban tor nodes probably don't have a great reputation.

Not to mention, why on earth would I ever operate a TOR relay or exit node on my home internet connection? Maybe if I could guarantee that it could only be used by journalists or political dissidents, but everything else? No.
I don't need the authorities at my door every few weeks wondering why some of the most deplorable internet traffic of all time is coming from my house.

Relay nodes don't pose much risk and help mask/blend your own Tor traffic.

I think the hosts that Tor recommends against because there are already so many nodes hosted on them like OVH and Hetzner are perfectly happy with their (quite good) reputations.

I've run a personal mailserver from one of the "Don't use these ASN/Companies because there are already too many tor nodes" VPS hosts for 14 years (and going). They've had excellent service, I never had a problem with my neighbors on the shared hardware, and my mail deliverability rate has been on par with other services. Just one data point for you.

I see Comcast but no Verizon?

Try it, and report whether you got banned. Much of this list was built by trial and error.

How is Verizon when it comes to Tor?
