I've always run small scale web sites, FTP sites, etc., and never had
any complaints. I've talked to the local folks at the cable company and
they said it wasn't a problem to run small personal sites as long as I
didn't suck up all the bandwidth. If I ever start getting lots of people
hitting my servers, I can upgrade to business class for about $25 more
per month and not get hollered at.
