Google did some research on this from an HTTP perspective when
researching SPDY.  That indicated that TCP over port 80 that doesn't
look like HTTP fails a remarkably large proportion of the time.

http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/tls/current/msg05593.html

Here are the numbers:

    HTTP (port 80)      67%
    HTTP (port 61985)   86%
    HTTPS (port 443)    95%

We were told in the last HTTPBIS meeting by someone who has run a more
recent experiment that these have not improved since that experiment
was run and that they may have even degraded a little.

I think that this sort of information is highly relevant in this context.
