I'm starting to recall some details. Comcast did get slapped for bandwidth
throttling. I believe it was P2P traffic as you said.
And yes, Comcast blocks ports unless you have a business account with them.
Whether it's illegal or not, they're doing it anyway.

Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Comcast IssueI've never heard of such a thing. Port
blocking has some very legitimate
uses. Such a law would serious screw things up. Source?
I seem to remember Comcast getting their hand slapped for masquerading
as customers PC on p2p networking, but nothing like that.

According to the FCC hearings that took place in Philadelphia, it is
illegal for any provider to block any port when they provide internet
access.

Business connection? I know most cable providers block the standard
server ports unless you cough up the extra cash for a business class
account.

We had a client who uses Comcast and suddenly found one day that all
outgoing mail was blocked. Comcast swore it wasn't them but I tested
everything from the desktop PCs to the router and found that mail made
it to
Comcast but never made it to us. One day, after a month or so, the
problem went away. Moral of the story: Comcast can do a lot of weird
stuff without even knowing that they are doing it. It is quite possible
that they are blocking your client's messages with attachments and they
don't even realize
it.
