Cox Premier in consumer, hence the port filtering (I haven't received 
the speed upping letter yet...). My preferred smtp server speaks SSL on 
port 465 and I can VPN to campus or work for any other needs.

The only thing it's not useful for is running common servers... but 
really co-locating or virtual servers are so much more cost-effective, 
reliable, and easy that it is hard to imagine why you'd want to serve 
from home.

My $0.02: Cable is great,
