Then you're lucky.

Around here (Seattle), if they see a lot of traffic they assume you're
running a server and change your address on you (which when you think
about it, is breach of contract).

I used to work at home a lot in a previous job, and my laptop (a
corporate asset) would get backed up every night.

The backups would fail about 4 hours into them, because Comcast would
assume I was running a heavy traffic server (since the upload would be
saturated).

I wasn't, of course.  They were just being pinheads.
