if you want uncapped bandwidth you need a business plan. charter has 
an uncapped plan but they charge you through the ass for it.
they did rais the cap on their residential services to 2 mb down for 
the time being but they still block ports. even If they didn't block 
them I'd still run servers. they're too stupid to find them and they 
probably don't even no what a server is. or even a computer
