No, you can absolutely not assume that all ports are 80. The
destination port is 80, but the source port could be pretty much
anything, it gets randomized every new connection (this is a big part
of the reason NAT works, for instance). I imagine that it would be
hugely helpful for Verizon to have that information, it's much easier
to then pick up the right connection from the deluge of wrong
connections.
