So, you haven't read the rules, and therefore think you can ignore them. If you're lucky, your ISP will continue not bothering to enforce their rules. Personally, I don't like relying on luck.
Again, just because you've been getting away with it doesn't mean the risk of having your account suspended isn't real or worth considering.

How dare you sit here and say that you can't even use your fucking internet dude?
Why do they have PORT FORWARDING IN ROUTERS YOU BUY AT THE STORE? So you can't host a PC game like SERIOUS SAM to play multiplayer with a friend via TCP/IP direct connect?
You are a BITCH dude. I'd love to interview you in voice. Oh fucking BOY these last two generations boil my blood.

Hey ERELLSWORTH. I recorded video of me installing and setting up an actual server on my Xfinity internet connection. OMFG it's against the rules, right? Please don't report me to my ISP - I have children!
Why do you think routers have PORT FORWARDING in them? Is that just for fun? Think about it. I can go to ebay and buy Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 from 1996 and run whatever DNS or IIS server I want, however outdated it is.
It's absolutely absurd to think you have to pay to host things even though you have all the equipment and bandwidth to do it yourself. I only have 1000/42Mbps but I've got a friend who just got fiber in CA who has 10Gbit both ways. Do you think I'm just going to upload Linux ISOs?
Ha ha ha haooowww
