If I understand you correctly, @home has now changed the terms of the agreement. We need competition for cable service in a big, big way. :-( I don't have the option for DSL where I live (yet), and my cable "ISP" (I have to put that in quotes, because they couldn't find their bungholes with both hands and a roadmap) guarantees 1500K down and 500K up for what I'm paying, BUT they block all the ports below 1024. :-( I can hack around that, given a friendly site outside their firewall who's willing to divert packets for me, but it's still a PITA.
