[PLUG] Verizon FIOS inbound port blocking?

On Wednesday the technicians will install Verizon FIOS.
    (and yes, I will ask to keep my copper, and they will say no, and
     I will let them replace it anyway because the wires here are 60
     years old and get wet and noisy - I can put a one week UPS on the
     FIOS battery box for emergencies.  Ignore that issue, please!)

Some folks say that Verizon blocks inbound port 80.  That is not a
problem for me, my hosting is elsewhere.  Are there any other ports
blocked?

The Verizon terms of service and acceptable use policy appear more
permissive than the Comcast TOS that I suffer under now, so there
will be some services (VPN, nonstandard port SSH) that I would like
to send directly to my local firewall instead of to my distant
hosting machine.  If there are ports or ranges of ports that are
blocked on incoming, it would be nice to know about them while I
plan the transition.
