They make you sign an agreement that you will not run any servers on the
network or face shut-off of service. I know people with servers on
FIOS that run mail, etc. I believe the only port they block is 80, but I

I use a hosting service for my domains, so I'm not worried about what I
can run on the FIOS network.
