RE: Re: [PLUG] Verizon port blocking?
|
Just because they can doesn't mean they are. In my experience it's more a function of the westtell modem. They have a remote admin port on the device there is a much greater potential for abuse there than hosting your own website at a fraction of your download speed.
The asymetrical nature of the line is a much greater determining factor in whether or not you can host you own website. There is no good reason to block incoming port 80 with an upload speed of 128k. Other than they may feel that once a customer sees how really slow their line is they will be disatisified and look to cable.

How does this statement, made by Verizon, fit into the scheme of thing?
