yeah well don't multiple cable users share an 'node'? so if someone's using a shitload of bandwidth the others can notice slowness? I don't notice this bc I think I'm one of the few people if any others on my particular node. so if my idea of how cable works is right then I can kind of see why they wont let you run servers. bc you'll use that node's upstream and the other lusers will complain. that's not saying I agree...
