I've always run small scale web sites, FTP sites, etc., and never had
any complaints. I've talked to the local folks at the cable company and
they said it wasn't a problem to run small personal sites as long as I
didn't suck up all the bandwidth. If I ever start getting lots of people
hitting my servers, I can upgrade to business class for about $25 more
per month and not get hollered at.

Not only that, but it is a violation of most of the TOS agreements. The
local cable company [Long Island CableVision] just went on a spree down anyone who had ports 21 [FTP], 80 [HTTP] and a
bunch more open! If
the
content appeared to be "business" related,
the users were sent a bill for
a
retroactive "commercial" upgrade [this is
still being fought!]
