He actualy means kilobits not bytes(*), the acceptable use poilicy says
you will not run any servers on thier network, however they may have
laxed this after implementing the 128 upstream limits.
(*) This isn't always exact either as it differs noc by noc, here in
Denver they believe this means kbits not kbytes, while in michigan(sp?)
the techs interpreted this as kbytes. So in Colorado its 16KB, yet in
Michigan it's 128KB. Now here is the tricky part, the only way to know is
to talk to a tech in your town (doesn't happen unless they are installing
the modem or replaceing it), talk to someone who has the service and have
them test it.

Yes they can tell its a firewall. your machine will DENY packets routed to
it but not destined for it.
Note that ip is a proxy, in washington.
