We are talking about address space that got sold. It might have been 
used for dynamically allocated IPs in some previous live. Now some poor 
hosting provider took over and is trying to use it for his new enterprise.

By the way we sell 1000 Mbps downstream, 1000 Mbps upstream and no ports 
are blocked. And we are not the only FTTH provider here doing that. We 
will not decide what our users are supposed to host in a closet in their 
homes.
