I am a network engineer for TWC specifically running the business class fiber network. As far as I know and can tell with my own connection we do not block anything for our residential customers.
I always speak up internally for customers rights and privacy and I implore anyone else in charge of a network do do the same.

I work for an ISP as well and, while I know ISP's don't get a lot of love (especially from the more tech-savvy customers), I feel better knowing that least I'm helping to Do The Right Thing(TM). The company I work for is pretty small as far as ISPs go (our customer base numbers in the four digits) so our headcount is pretty small too. While it sucks sometimes, I am personally in charge of exactly how our network is ran and have complete freedom to do whatever I want however I want (so long as it doesn't significantly affect the bottom line, of course). I try to run things the way I want my ISP to (I live outside our service area so I don't have our service but I do have blazing fast FTTH so that makes up for it.) I (we) don't block anything although sometimes it would make my job a lot easier... nor do I even bother forwarding to the customer all those requests I got from "Echelon" (on behalf of HBO) complaining about people torrenting Game of Thrones. Although, on a side note, I stopped receiving them after I started enforcing FCrDNS on our incoming mail gateways. :-)
