Citing finicky configuration problems, the major high-speed providers discourage their use -- a backward and dangerous policy

Why am I not surprised why RR told you to get rid of the firewall? Because 999 out of 1000 times when a customer _has_ a firewall, the firewall is the problem. You cant expect support when you call your isp and ask them about a product they havent sold you or have anything to do with. They arent that smart, thats why they work at support.

Besides, every isp knows the customer is always wrong:-)
