Off of Burnsville Pkwy, your choices will be Comcast for cable and (I think)
Qwest for phone. Don't know the DSL choices there. Bville Pkwy is too far
north for Frontier, though it's a choice in the south end.

I'm on Comcast 6Meg/256k for 46.95/month, but we get basic cable, too. They
don't guarantee static IP, but I just went about 18 months on the same one.

Until last night.... argghhh.

I haven't run into any blocked ports, but they do have a somewhat
restrictive rate limit on their smtp servers.

While not 5 nines, Comcast hasn't been as bad as in the past. How's that for
a backhanded compliment?
