Well, actually, it does.  Every broadband network in the US
currently blocks outgoing port 25 connections from retail customers.

Unfortunately, that's not entirely true.  (Very) recent direct-to-MX spam
from Comcast customers:

Well, it's supposed to be blocked, according to people I've talked to
at Comcast and T-W as recently as a week ago.  I can believe that they
have configuration problems on a networks of that size.

fairly certain that none of these folk block port 25 on their business
customer links.

As I said above, retail customers.  Business customers get static IPs and generaly no blocking.

R's,

Business customers only get static from Comcast if they pay extra for it.

I still keep hoping for some way to buy an ipv6/48 from them. Being
dynamically renumbered all the time is a PITA, and yet, when comcast's
ipv6 works - it is GREAT. I had huge amounts of nat pressure from dns
traffic simply vanish once I switched my dns servers over to their
ipv6 (and deployed dnssec and got back NXDOMAIN)
