While it's beside the point for your question, is the ISP even aware of
how utterly nonsensical this restriction is (especially from a security
point of view), and how easy it is to "circumvent"?  Sounds like it's a
political and/or imaginary-economical issue.

Kind of like one of my previous employers that permits telnet, ftp, http
etc, but not SSH. (SSH over port 80 didn't take long to setup, no...)
