Would it be ok if they charged extra if you wanted the ICQ port open? or FTP?

I choose to share my photos and other information with family and friends 
through my web server (and I don't use Cox).   I would be very unhappy if 
my provider wanted to charge me more $$ because I choose to use communicate 
on port 80 instead of 25 or others.
