And port 80 blocks.

And port 21 blocks.

And port 6699 blocks (remember Napster, anyone?).

And news servers throttled to 128 kbps

And "invisible ceilings" on usage.

This is one reason to think outside the box when shopping for broadband. I'm on my what, like eighth year working for small ISPs. Every place I've worked at has catered more to people who know what "we'll let you run a server" means. It's a smaller market, but it's much more fun on both my side and the customer's side. Blocking VoIP may go OK for these guys on residential customers, but I have to wonder how this would go over with small business customers paying hefty fees for IP PBX type services...

I only wish the ISPs around here were so enlightened. Here's it's a choice between Adelphia or the incompetant rural LEC's 1.5M/512k DSL for $150/month.

You are talking about blocked inbound. Not outbound. The SIP communications in my network are all outgoing even if its a incoming call.
