Depends on what you want to do.  If you want to download stuff, you're
probably going to be fine.  If you want to send traffic, you might think
again.

When I had comcast business services, with static IP for a company I
formerly worked at...  they blocked inbound port 22, and outbound port 25.
Their monkeys insisted they didn't, even though I had packet captures
showing they did.  Eventually I gave up arguing with them, and switched
ports until we could switch providers.
