Odds are they don't block port 443.  As a bonus, you get a secure
connection...even authentication (which you should also use) is secured, IIRC,
which is good.  My Mythbox is connected through a router to a residential
cable-modem account, and port 443 works fine (the router forwards inbound
traffic on that port to the Mythbox).
