Shame about the weather though, I was planning on going out swimming but I wont bother now. So, How was your day?

There is a really fairly big section about running businesses on your connection though:

Along with sections about how you aren't supposed to have servers generating abnormal amounts of traffic, offering free Webmail and image hosting on your connection could certainly do this.
Also as you're completely aware you've no business sharing your connection with others, let alone
reselling it, that's a big nono.
You don't get 3Mbit for less than £40 a month with various stuff in the T+Cs about how it's supposed to be suitable only for residential use, etc, so that you can resell the connectivity for web hosting and to other people in your street as your own paid for WISP.
Taking my ntl hat off for a little while I consider you no better than a common thief, you're ripping off the people in your street and you're ripping off ntl twice over, once with the dubious use of your connection to make money hosting, then again as these people could be paying ntl £9.99 and getting a proper 1Mbit service, not paying for your cable modem.
I've nothing more to say on this as previously said all the info I have has been forwarded to the relevant parties.
