    However, if a 'provider' wishes to block ANYTHING, then they need to
inform the customer IN WRITING exactly what will be blocked so that
customer doesn't waste their time and money with said (limited) service
and vote with their wallet by buying *real* Internet service, elsewhere.

Which is only an option in those rare places where there's actual real
competition.  In most places, it's a monopoly, or a non-functional
duopoly (Let's face it - how many users will protest a 10M cable connection
with 4 ports punched out by moving to 768K DSL?)
