I've been running a server (phrenograph) on a Comcast connection in
the Washington, DC, area for a few months now, and I haven't heard
anything from Comcast about it.
I guess I should have been more clear .. I ran the tor node on an
academic network, and we have our own ASN, so there's no "provider" to
complain to (but that didn't stop them from trying .. one idiot used our
public email/phone directory to email the president of our .edu). I'm
also the ORG-ABUSE contact on our ARIN record, and I'm the one that
reads security@ and [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I did, however, annoy Comcast in Indiana by using honeyd to "answer"
every one of their stupid FTP/HTTP probes that they were sending out
back in the day to see if you were running servers. Again, YMMV .. but
their TOS is pretty clear on the issue :
