You're the first person I've heard say *that* about RCN.

So, *if* you pay them more, you get less freedom?  That statement
seems backwards.  Why would they charge you to block ports?  If I'm
paying a higher rate for a static IP, I would expect better service
and more freedom.

Are you sure it's not the other way around.  If *don't* pay them for a
static IP, then they *will* block various ports?
