So I was trying to setup a webdav bookmark syncing for this extension to Firefox with my home machine as the webdav server. It was working fine at home but I couldn't reach my home server from anywhere else but at home. So I was checking my ipfw rules and apache settings but they all seemed fine. Then I though, what if Telus is blocking port 80 now. So i moved apache to a non 80 port and it worked fine! A little googling confirmed my suspicion that Telus has started blocking 80 (and 25 aparently) but only on dynamic ip customers (ie consumer not business clients).

2. Telus has removed a portion of that service
3. Because the service is reduced, there should be a reduction in the fee to compensate for less service received.
Logically speaking, this is the same as Telus removing the use of, say, the number 9 from our phone keypads. Functionality is significantly reduced. I wonder what a judge might decide if this was presented to him in court?

The important line here is:
"You are not permitted to operate an e-mail, web, news or other similar server through a TELUS Internet Services high speed service, except as specified by TELUS."
That line never used to be in the TOS. It was just recently added about the same time they started blocking ports.
