Comcast is such a low life company. they started blocking these and bunch others (http://businesshelp.comcast.com/help-and-support/internet/ports-blocked-by-business-class-internet/) without telling their customers.
I have series of servers in co-locations, I need to access them with samba over these ports.
They say that, it is government order to block those, IT IS A LIE there is no such order. Funny thing is the ports are blocked outbound, inbound traffic on these ports are open. So they are not protecting me, protecting the internet from me :). and not doing the goverment order right!.
When I called the comcast sales guy asked about the blocked ports, he says there is not restriction on the ports. When I called the top tier support manager, Levis employee, he was a total jerk, who does not mind about loosing their 10+ year customer.
They have been pushing to use their new modems, apparently allow them to monitor, spy on your communications. not to speed up your service as they lie to you. please do not.
STAY AWAY FROM COMCAST !
