Give Options

ISPs should give options to subscribers.
They can have their connection filtered or not.
Users who choose not to filter lines should be FINED.
That way everybody will be happy.

IMO it depends on the TOS/AUP, if it prohibits certain activities that the port blocking ends up effectively enforcing, there should be no choice of to filter or not to filter.

I agree. They could turn it on by default, that way all the average people won't be affected, but those who know enough to need another outside SMTP server or run their own can have it turned off.

The ISP does give options: You can pay for their service and enjoy the benefits and detriments of their service, or your can pay someone else for a whole new set of benefits and detriments.

That's about as much control you have over your Internet connection. Sorry if this lack of control alarms you, but hey, that's life.
