runs out on port 80. If they block it I could not run my site. They tried to sell me fiber and I asked the door to door salesmen about port 80. They called tech support and confirmed that they do indeed block port 80.

It runs on my server here at my house. Blocking port 80 would prevent me from running my site.
There is a way around it but it's a PITA.

I remember a few years back when I had cable internet and they specifically (on the agreement) prohabit setting up a home web server. Of course it would be allow if I pay extra.
From what I understand, other port can be use but I'll take your word for it as far as PITA go (never have the need to set one up).
