As an employee of BHN and on occasion RR, from what I know, they are not blocking any ports. They do port scan and do ping tests to verify the modems in a given area are active, but that is about it. They only time they will active block is if someone is taking advantage of bandwidth issues. And then you at least get a warning before you are shut down.
I would do some more investigating on your part. Is there a firewall or something in the way? Configuration checked?
I wish I could help more.

Subject: [SLUG] RoadRunner vs. Verizon DSL
Hey,
I currently am subscribed to RoadRunner but I cannot access any of my internal network services from the outside. I have a webserver running (and I'd switch to the RR Business plan had I more than ~5 visitors a month) and have to remotely administer my parents' PCs while away at college. So this is a pain in the neck. I have the feeling that RR has blocked all incoming ports to my network. You think this is possible? My outside access to the network just stopped working from one day to the next without any intervention from the inside.
Also, what about Verizon DSL? What's their deal? What does their plan cover, bandwidth, rules and regulations you know of that aren't advertised on the website?
Does anyone have a better suggestions perhaps?
Thanks
Felix
