[Asymmetric]

When I had Qwest as my isp in Colorado, on a dsl account, I was never able to become un-firewalled. No matter what I did, i.e. portforward.com, technobabble help, etc., no go. When I called Qwest and asked them about why I could not get unfirewalled, they told me that if I paid for a more costly commercial account that I wouldn't have that problem. So I switched to cable and have not been firewalled since. I literally just plugged my router into the new cable modem and I had everything setup just right. I messed around a long time trying to get that firewall stuff sorted out before I found out that Qwest detects bittorrent activity and puts the clamps on it. I don't know if Qwest does this everywhere, but they sure do in Colorado.
