Are you referring to reachability or bandwidth? Reachability is solved by tunneling[0] and SNI routing. 1Mbps upload is plenty for many self-hosting uses. Or are you talking about something else?

Probably TOS. My ISP provider technically bans running any type of server, but it hasn't been an issue for me.


Out of curiosity, if I may ask: where do you live?

(Because I've never heard of such a thing.)


Los Angeles, but I've had similar clauses everywhere I've lived and with multiple USPS (Starry, Charter, Time Warner, Verizon, university housing, etc)


While my ISP, Comcast/Xfinity, does have a "Business Plan" that allows you to have a server, the normal residential plans prohibit it.


Ah that makes more sense. Also very sad. Hopefully as fiber becomes more prevalent that will become less common.
