The "consumer level" FiOS blocks you from running anything on port 25
and 80, at least that's what a friend of mine that has it says. You
need to pay for business level to get those unblocked.

He also has TV service as well and says it's not to bad, but that
their DVR sucks. He has an HDTiVo with cable cards.
