interesting is that even with the business DSL line, you are still not

allowed to run servers or use "excessive bandwidth," according to the 
ToS. A

subjective terms that lots of mainstream ISPs like to use to take

for a service they do not want you to use.

 Well they specifically talk of company based mail and web servers on
their business web page.

There is a difference between a "company" based service and a 
reseller's service.
It may seem like a legal hair, and it is. But the TOS stuff frequently 
makes an explicit reference to the difference.
