I would say that it appears they do *not* want you running a server
w/o purchasing their service level package  :^(.

When I first got broadband (cable), I was told that I could not run a
server and I think that I only got 5M or 6M down and 186K up.
Telephone company knocked on my door Friday offering a package with
18/2, but didn't have documentation for comparison and the price
difference and features included was not enough for me to be *real*
interested, YET.
