Same here. And I take back my earlier assertion about price. I'd pay double
to get a static IP that I could legally run a server from. I just checked
http://work.comcast.net and the only "business" class service I can get
still doesn't let me have that, and yet the price is exorbitant.
I do not have a business account, and have had servers running on them for
over 5 years now. Several techicians have been over before to test line
quality and each has noted my configuration. In my oppinion, if they wish
to specifically forbid them, then they should enforce it. I'm using their
services responsibly and haven't had an issue with them (other than their
really jacked up accounting department).
I keep wondering why they don't just block SYN packets bound for customer
equipment. Accepting those packets is pretty much the definition of a
server, so blocking them would instantly enforce the TOS, at least for TCP.
I've got Speakeasy business ADSL at the office. If only I could get that at
home....
