Well, one oughtn't to *block* them, but to force them into the portal often 
enough to get them to call into the help-desk.  And not all at once, of course 
- do it for some proportion at a time.

It is what it is; enough of these, and enough ports blocked via ACLs, and the 
subscribers won't have any ports left to communicate through, heh.

The risk is that you'll end up with subscribers having weird issues which lead 
to dissatisfaction, more help-desk calls, and customer churn.
