Just a little update about this matter...

"Several users have been writing in to share this this conversation over at Reddit alleging that AT&T has "effectively banned Bitcoin." This would otherwise not be worth mentioning, except for the fact that it appears to now be popping up at a number of different websites. The proof? Apparently it all originates with this post to the Bitcoin developer mailing list, in which a user proclaims AT&T confessed to "secret firewalls" buried in AT&T U-Verse DVRs....."

"We do not block port 8333/tcp or attempt to block bitcoin nodes for our customers," AT&T tells DSLReports. "Any customer experiencing a problem should contact AT&T customer care."
