People forget it's a residential service and not a business one. If you want to send email, use smtp.comcast.net. Otherwise, block it. I'm sick of putting in cable modem users in my spam list. The few/stupid ruin it for the many. A shame, but life goes on.
Bullshit! Many people use their internet connections for things other than just surfing web pages and email friends and family. Once ISPs start blocking ports to protect/correct the stoopid (not the cable modem users,) the rest of us lose!
Rules, rules, and yet more rules won't make anything any better. It will make it stoopider! | |

| Re: They could hire me If you need to run a server or have business needs you should use the business end otherwise you use the residential version. If you are running a server on a residential line be careful. A lot of ISPs consider that a TOS violation and could cancel your service. Cox blocked port 25 and it made people mad. I am glad they did it though. A lot of people who were complaining about not being able to do business and stuff with port 25 blocked were on residential lines and they were forced either to cancel service or get the business service. Either way it cut down the crap on residential lines. | |

| Re: They could hire me In theory that makes perfect sense. In practice, paying for Comcast's Small Biz package does nothing for you. No static IP, can't run a server, I'm still using the same hardware I was on the residential side. All I'm getting for the addition $40/mo is a quicker response time if my circuit goes down.
