I used to use roadrunner before moving and needing to switch cable providers. I ran http, ftp, smtp/pop3, and irc servers on my roadrunner line, and no one even noticed. no port scan, no phone calls asking why my traffic volume was so high, nothing... :) although, to warn you, that was in Minneapolis, MN, and where ever you are may actually enforce those rules, as each subprovider is different. My provider was time warner cable, other companies that lease the roadrunner service/name may actually have measures in place to stop people from running servers. and, I totally agree, any ISP that gives you lightening fast speeds, and doesn't think your going to run servers is totally moronic, and to enforce that, is beyond moronic, and totally unfair. so, if they do blow the whistle, I'd also suggest finding another provider. Sorry for the long message everyone. :) Jes and guide dog Harley wrote: > Well, the following text says it all right here: > The Road Runner Service as offered under this Agreement is a residential service offered for personal, non-commercial use only. > Subscriber agrees not > to use the Road Runner Service for operation as an internet service provider, for the hosting of websites or for any business > enterprise.

So, unless I miss my guess, this answer is no... Am I right or wrong on this?
