Ron,
It isn't likely that these ports will be opened any time soon for residential customers. Good bad
or otherwise it is the current policy. Whether I agree or not I have to enforce the policy.

Cheers,

Is there any chance that 25 & 80 will be un-blocked, and, say monitoring
installed, so that only the abusers (i.e. high traffic http & smtp) or
people who've been hacked (and are now spewing forth nimda, code red,
etc) would get zapped?

You'd get a lot more customers that way. Well, mostly geeks, but they
pay too !!
