I haven't read the "terms of service" in years, but this was never a thing I'm familiar with. It was known that if you pay for internet, you can do whatever you want with it (well, short of violating federal law).
Why do you think routers have PORT FORWARDING in them? Is that just for fun? Think about it. I can go to ebay and buy Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 from 1996 and run whatever DNS or IIS server I want, however outdated it is.
It's absolutely absurd to think you have to pay to host things even though you have all the equipment and bandwidth to do it yourself. I only have 1000/42Mbps but I've got a friend who just got fiber in CA who has 10Gbit both ways. With speeds like that, do you think we're just going to upload Linux ISOs AND not RUN servers on all sixty five thousand ports?
So, you haven't read the rules, and therefore think you can ignore them. If you're lucky, your ISP will continue not bothering to enforce their rules. Personally, I don't like relying on luck.
Again, just because you've been getting away with it doesn't mean the risk of having your account suspended isn't real or worth considering.
