ISPs Blocked Ports
I recently switched service to CableOne. I went from 12 Mbps to 50 Mbps. However, my internet experience does not reflect this fact. This morning, my wife commented that, overall, the web is very much slower with CableOne.
On CableOne's web site they state:
"Cable ONE blocks ports 135, 136, 137, 138, 139 & 448. In addition, SMTP Port 25 is restricted for residential customers."
Would this have any effect on speed?
Downloads are significantly faster but browsing is very slow. If this continues, I'll go back to the slower 12 Mbps to get faster.
