Personal use as in you're not selling bandwidth to a third party. There is most likely no problem running a mail och minecraft server, but they definitely don't want you selling bandwidth to your neighbours or hosting your video streaming service on it.

Frankly, what's the problem with selling (let's call it giving for now, that keeps this simpler) bandwidth to a third party? It's just bandwidth, why does the source or content of the packets matter?
