"When I was a boy..." I used Telus (whom I typically refer to with  
strong and inappropriate language) and when they blocked port 80, I  
just used a non-standard port (8080 or 5125 or whatever) and then  
gave people the proper url e.g. http://www.example.com:8080/ and it  
worked fine.  IIRC, it was even indexed by a search engine or two  
correctly.  And then, go with a Internet provider that actually gives  
you Free access to the Internet instead of being ... Uh, naughty.
