Hmmm ... Verizon owns the phone wire coming into our house,
but   we   got   around   this  problem  by  going  through
speakeasy.net for our IP service, and of  course  speakeasy
promises  to  not  block ports.  I wonder whether you could
also go through speakeasy to use Verizon's high-speed fibre
lines?
