Later COX will start blocking that port as well. I was running a ssh server (to 
tunnel vnc) on port 23022. It worked great for weeks, then they started 
blocking the port. I switched to another port, they appeared to be blocking the 
23xxx port range. After I tried a 24000 port, the ssh server worked again. Well 
a few weeks later, it stopped working too. Just to see, I had my friend (on the 
same street, so the same cable sub-net) to try connecting. He was able to 
connect just fine. So I could rule out problems on my firewall or internal 
network. 
When cox finds out you're running a server, they just block your port. 
As it's my own personal ssh server, not a public server, I don't believe it 
falls under their rules against running a server. But I guess they just like to 
block whatever they can.

I went through this with Cox cable.  They're blocking port 80, at least on the 
residential lines, so I set up a WebHop through Dyndns to redirect traffic to 
port 18080.  I haven't yet tried port 21, but I do know that port 22 is open 
for SSH (I use it daily) for the time being.

One way you can check to see if your isp is blocking any ports is
disable your filewall then use an online port scanner like Shields Up.
Every port should show open except those blocked by your isp.
