Isn't Comcast blocking (some?) Vonage traffic as a marketing technique
for their telephone service?  It is as though they see different
protocols and address like cable channels they should be able to carry
or not, channels to charge extra for or not.

Verizon has some similar ideas.  


If you can get DSL from Speakeasy, Covad, or some other real internet
provider, I would do that.  Phone and cable companies are slimy.
