Just to clarfify- Qwest does NOT block these ports and has no problem whatsoever with one of their customers hosting web sites. In fact, it's quite common for Qwest customers to host their own websites.
The faster upload is a MAJOR advantage to having DSL, so Qwest would be very foolish if they took away customers ability to take advantage of the faster upload...
