I'm using Earthlink which is weird.  I get install & bill from
Time-Warner but it's a different logical network.  Different IP range,
different servers, etc.  The difference being that Earthlink is very
unambiguous about allowing customers to run "hobby servers" on
residential service.

The only port that is blocked for me is OUTBOUND, port 25.  I must have
my Postfix server use Earthlink relays for outbound mail.  I can live
with that, since their relays have been good.  I've not had any issues
with inbound ports being blocked.

I *have* noticed recently changes in my torrent performance where it
looks strongly like they've been tweaking traffic shaping on me.
