However, if a 'provider' wishes to block ANYTHING, then they need to inform the customer IN WRITING exactly what will be blocked so that customer doesn't waste their time and money with said (limited) service and vote with their wallet by buying *real* Internet service, elsewhere.
Which is only an option in those rare places where there's actual real competition. In most places, it's a monopoly, or a non-functional duopoly (Let's face it - how many users will protest a 10M cable connection with 4 ports punched out by moving to 768K DSL?)
