Also, I hate Apache. Im supporting a piece of software called Abyss Web Server and its only possible to use it on a private or dedicated server with root access.

I don't have a problem with you running a server at home. What you do with your connection is between you and NTL. I have a server at home I occasionally use (although I am the only person with access, as it's strictly for me to mess around on).
One other option, however, is co-located servers (such as the one you are reading this on). These cost a little more, but you do get your own server, and can do pretty much what you want on it.
Regarding the 70 Gig FTP, would that really be a problem? I cannot see that you would need to FTP that data regularly, even for backup purposes as you can either do incremental backups or pay for the host to do it.
