Nope, they fully restrict almost all ports that would allow me to connect
via NNTP, I can't even FTP, or connect to my MAIL server directly (i have to
use sites like WEB2MAIL.com to get my personal email)
There is also a rule in the guidelines that restricts me from accessing my
own ISP using their equipment (that includes the phone lines).
I understand where they are coming from, being a company as large as ours
they probally have all kind of people using the system for things it
shouldn't be used for, thus eating up a lot of bandwith. But you'd think
being a telcom company we'd have bandwith to spare, guess not.
