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?

Why would you buy a service that offers terms that aren't what you
want?

If Charter offers a higher class of service that doesn't have these
restrictions, you're basically stealing.

That's rather a stretch of logic. More accurate to say that the OP would
simply be violating the TOS (Terms Of Service) and would find that service
discontinued at some point when the ISP's port scans or packet sniffers
detect such traffic {to|from} the subscriber, as will eventually happen
sooner or later.
