Verizon (FiOS) (Off Topic?)

[Kenny Donahue]

They claimed FIOS was available to me in S. Nashua but it wasn't.
I just switched to Verizon DSL  (got sick of comcast raising the rate 
any time
they felt like it).  One question I have is, can you run a webserver 
with FIOS?
Verizon seems to be blocking my webserver (tried different ports no 
luck) and
from my reading, FIOS will also block the same ports. This is from searching
the net so take the information with a grain of salt.

Anyway, what good is having all this speed if they cripple it.
