Servers and Tos

[Alex Snow]

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...
