Re: Deal with it..... Good old 'ping' is a pretty standard way of seeing if a host is up, and Unix 'traceroute' (which uses the same protocol) is a pretty standard way of seeing where a problem lies. Take those away and you have a crippled connection.
Take any ports away and you have a crippled connection. If you've got a port blocked -- particularly a major useful point such as 25 or 80 or 7 (ok, maybe not 7), you're a second-class user of the internet. |

Maineville, OH | Traceroute sends UDP and receives ICMP, type 11, time-to-live exceeded packets. Not ICMP echo and reply.
If an ISP blocks ports, then by your definition, they would be a second-class provider of internet connectivity. Them blocking ports has nothing to do with the class of the user.
