I know. Sigh...
Many non-commercial offerings from ISP's have some form of port
limitations that are difficult to know, a priori. That is,
until you bump into them. SMTP comes to mind for Verizon (or
maybe it was Optimum Online). TOMMYT::
sent out-going SMTP for years until it couldn't. I used that to
email myself alerts from Batch. Now? Fuggetabout it.
Of course, when I whined about the outgoing SMTP block, I was
promptly offered a commercial account... These cost more then
the residential offerings, sometimes far more if you are looking
to get equivalent performance. Really, the residential
offerings seem largely geared towards entertainment; that is,
watching Netflix and YouTube. Anything else is bring your
wallet.
