I'm not legally allowed to self host things without violating my ISP's AUP

The rest of it generally sucks too.

High Speed Internet AUP

Show threadwizardSep 9, 2019
Honestly even Comcast's business class internet has some bullshit

I can't apply network filtering policies in my lan?

Comcast can literally interfere with my services' availability at will?

I can't change from Comcast's default DNS?

IRC and other chat bots cannot be hosted

What does this last thing even mean? Am I not allowed to let people know that my web services are, in fact, a teapot?

I probably misunderstood some of those but they're so oversimplified that I'm asking more questions than I'm getting answers

@wizard we've been running this instance on a Comcast connection for almost a year and their service has been shit but they haven't shut us down

presumably our server does not look like a personal one because it's getting inbounds from all over the place

@wizard we honestly didn't even read the terms and conditions because we don't give a shit, we're not doing anything illegal

@wizard (and if we are, you can't prove it)

@wizard they give us a whopping 6 mbit/sec of upload so it's really not like we're going to be a thorn in their side even if we saturate that continuously

@diodelass Yeah, that's another thing. I doubt comcast cares much about trying to lock down non-business class customers since their speeds are generally slow enough and they probably would buy the business version if they were doing big business things anyway.
