Many ISPs would tell you that "sophisticated" users should have business
accounts. According to CenturyTel, for example, residential service is for
"educational and entertainment purposes only". They want consumers, not
users. The modem/router/firewall they supply is configured with a short
list of "pinholes" for specific services, mostly games. Very, very few of
their customers ever reconfigure it.
