I disagree. I signed up for a connection to the Internet and bandwidth--period--when I contracted with my isp. This recent nonsense of blocking ports is just plain insulting.
Assuming that I am a responsible citizen (which any administrator needs to be on ANY network) on the Internet, what I do with my bandwidth is my business. I did NOT sign up for X hours or for Y Gb of traffic. If I choose to run a server at my site, I'm ***saving my isp money*** and resources since they do not have to run that service for me or allocate the disk space to me.
