I know some ISPs block certain ports, but at least since I started running Synchronet in 2007, I haven't had an ISP that blocked port 23 or the other standard ports (except maybe SMTP).

I use comcast using a residental account and they do block port 80 , SMPT ports. Like most others I am thankfull i can relay my email though vert. they did however allow you to relay mail though an email address by authenticating with the user name and password but they blocked that also a few years ago

I'm not sure about how it is exactly now, but it seems that over the years comcast has several different ways of handling open ports and whether it does bandwidth limiting depending on the region.
Some people i know have no caps and can do whatever they want. some have horrible experiences with comcast.
Interesting.. I used to use Comcast residential, and the only port they blocked was SMTP. Port 80 worked fine at the time.
with around 900 mbps down and around 45mps up which is ok for my needs butt again just useing a residental account also
Since 2015 I've been using fiber internet, which offers the same speed for both download and upload. Having such a wide gap between download and upload speed seems weird to me now.. With fiber, even if you have speed as high as gigabit, the gigabit speed is both for upload and download.

Aside: If you're on a residential (especially cable) internet
provider connection, many/most providers block common server ports
from inbound connections. Try a higher/alternate port, such as 2323
and see if that works instead... you can probably just change the
port forward in your router to listen on 2323 and forward to the
host on 23, so you don't need to change the BBS's config.
Sorry to hijack. I may have this same problem. Port 23 is not letting traffic in. I know all routers are different, but in a generic way, how you do this?
I'd just use 2323 for telnet, if that was my main interest. In your router, eparately.
If you are comfortable with Linux, I'd suggest using a VPS host. This is wh grok, which will route an accessible IP to your internal system for use.

I need to bite the bullet and get fiber. I'm sitting on a couple of terabytes of data I'd love to sync with the cloud, but with a bandwidth cap and 20 mbps upload speed on cable, it'd be painful.
Who do you have, and do they have monthly bandwidth caps?

My area is a broad band no man's land. ATT won't invest in enhancing infrast ructure and Comcast will not spend $10,000 a mile to run cable down a road that has less than 20 houses per mile. On the half mile section I live on there are 4 houses separated by corn fields. I'm
going to stick with Hughesnet until the fiber is run. Starlink has a
long waiting list in my area and the price jumps for the price of a reciver and dish. At first they were priced at $500 fo rthe dish, now
the price has increased to $750. At first they said no bandwidth
caps,but now in reality they say it's necessary.
AT&T FIber just moved in, but because of the street I'm on, AT&T fiber
