I had a couple of VM's (personal mail/web hosting) with a provider who used 
Softlayer for transit. About a month ago Softlayer (without any notice or 
warning) blocked all outgoing port 25 at multipole datacentres for this 
provider. It took the hosting provider half a day to work out what had 
happened. Needless to say as much as I liked the company I had to move my hosts 
elsewhere (they did refund me to their credit). It seems that someone at 
Softlayer is extremely aggressive on their blocking policies to the point of 
making their service unusable. I would highly recommend the community votes 
with its wallet when it comes to these turkeys.
