That's because port 69 is used for tftp purposes on the Vonage service. Read up more instead of blowing smoke.

I know port 69, UDP, is used for TFTP.

I am just questioning the usage of that port by a provider who SHOULD know it could be used for nefarious purposes.

Any VoIP provider should use an unregistered port for their "updates" until they feel they are established enough to register their own port.

Unless of course they own the network and can block the port, yet update firmware all the same.

It all goes back to the fact that you get what you pay for.
