Well this sort of depends on what it is that they are selling.  A true
ISP offers an internet dial tone limited only by what is listed in the
terms of the contract you agree to.

If they are censoring your communications in a way not stated then they
are in breach of contract.  Of course most often there's a clause stating
they can change the contract.  The MSN Website Terms of Use and Notices
has text stating:

MODIFICATION OF THESE TERMS OF USE
Microsoft reserves the right to change the terms, conditions, and notices
under which the MSN Sites/Services are offered, including but not limited
to the charges associated with the use of the MSN Sites/Services. You are
responsible for regularly reviewing these terms and conditions and
additional terms posted on particular websites. Your continued use of the
MSN Sites/Services constitutes your agreement to all such terms,
conditions, and notices.

A quick scan didn't uncover anything related to port blocking... yet.
