How Sticky Are CableModem AUPs?

I have Charter Cablemodem access. Like most any broadband provider
they mention 'no webservers, no ftp servers, no gameservers" etc. Just
*how* closely do they watch this?
I realize I'm the one breaking the rules and taking the risks, but I
would like to set up a small webserver at home. It will be very very
low bandwidth- mostly just to host small images like avatars and stuff
for a few forums I frequent. I will also like to have ftpd running on
it for the infrequent times of moving small files around (less than
2mb, in most cases) and also *maybe* sshd so I can use it to fiddle
with machines on my LAN. I understand the usual ports are blocked and
I know how to get around that.
I know that Charter provides about 20mb of webspace for this, but
what's the fun in that? :-)
I know it's against the rules, but has anyone ever done this
themselves? Ever get 'busted', or heard of someone getting busted, and
if so, what happened?
I have a feeling that as long as I'm not using it to sell child pr0n,
spam everyone's email accounts with "enlarge your scrotum", and/or
otherwise don't rock the boat too hard or do anything blatantly stupid
they either won't notice or won't care as much.
But I could be wrong?
Thanks for any insight.
