They can switch to DSL. I know speakeasy advertises that they don't block ports.
Not everyone can get DSL, or Speakeasy. I for one would love to see cable and DSL providers offer a "Power User" tier that allows servers (at least to an extent) and no port blocking, at maybe $5-10 higher than the standard residential service. Then those of us who want or need to use email servers other than the ISP's have a choice.
Many cable and DSL services already do offer such services. They just generally fall under the business or SOHO product names.
