For high speed Internet, I have two choices at my house.  Comcast or Verizon. 
Comcast's standard tier is 13/2 with a 250 gig/month "cap" which
isn't really enforced from waht I can tell.  All ports open and they don't
really care if you run your own servers.

Verizon's Fios standard tier is 25/5 with no caps.  They block port 25 and
80 (inbound) on the non-business class services.

Personally, I'm still using Comcast.  They have been good with me the past
few years in getting good promo pricing.

Of course you can get around Verizon's block of port 80 by using DYNDNS's
webhop service with cloaking.  I actually tested it just out of curiosity,
and it worked very well.
