I do not think that that is true across the board, even for FiOS. I do expect that it applies to all "residential" lines (of any leased speed), but if you would like to present data on port 80, you're fundamentally unqualified (not over-: un-) for a "residential" connection. Go load http://eclipsed.net/ up. You just connected to port 80 on a Verizon-provisioned IP address. Do you mean that they block it for "residential" service? Maybe they do, but maybe they just decided that was cheaper than dealing with (a conservative) 10% of their subscribers' systems becoming zombies. I don't like the fact that there are extra hoops one needs to jump through to get an actual Internet connection in one's home these days, but those hoops have large holes, are set low, and are definitely not set afire. Just request "business" service. -- gabriel rosenkoetter gr@eclipsed.net Attachment:
