I'm fairly confident that this is not a "grey area". When something is specifically prohibited in a legally binding document that you agreed to / signed it is not "grey" it is, quite literally, "black and white". And, as the other posters have pointed out it is almost always specifically prohibited.

I don't know about you, but I've never signed a contract for residential Internet access. I just call them up and give them a credit card number and a few days later have a box with a live Ethernet port show up in my apartment.

I'm sure they could cut me off if they didn't like what I was doing, but they could cut me off at-will so it's not worth trying to read their mind.
