I believe running HTTP and FTP servers for public use is against the T&C of the broadband connection.

Yep, read before you make statements like that

8. Websites

This section applies where we provide you with webspace as part of the Services or if you run a webserver on your own PC.

If you are running a webserver on your own PC you are solely responsible for the security and setup for that server. You are also responsible for all traffic through your server even if you personally did not originate it.

Where the website is held on our servers, you must keep your own back-up copies of any data and files. We do not keep back-up copies of your pages and will not be liable for any loss of your data or files.

You are responsible for the content of your website (including any content you link to) which must comply with this User Policy. You must obtain all necessary rights and clearances for the inclusion and publication of anyone else's work on your website. (See section 10 below for more information.)

You must ensure that no adult material is displayed or linked before a clear warning has been given and the user has had the opportunity to decline to view such material.

You may not run a website where access is subject to a premium rate telephone charge or which redirects you to such a website.

We may remove or request the removal of any material or links from your website if we consider that you are in breach of this User Policy.

If your website generates abnormally high hit levels or generates abnormally high levels of network traffic, we may at our discretion move it and/or restrict access to it and you shall be liable for any additional charges arising from our action. This may include but is not limited to suspending your Internet access.

If you are running the webserver from your own PC we may restrict or suspend your access to the Internet until we receive a written (signed posted letter) assurance from you that any breach of this User Policy will not be repeated and that the causes of the breach have been rectified.

On termination of your Internet account and/or Interactive Services for any reason, we may delete your website from our server immediately and without any liability to you.

what T&C are you taking that from?,URL?; its not the NTL one i posted a link to, YOU ARE or are considering becomeing an NTL home/residential user ?.

section 8 of the current T&C is
8 Provision of Information and Data Protection.

the only place server is mentioned in the http://www.home.ntl.com/page/termsresidential is

Part C - Interactive Services and Internet Services
2.3 It is your responsibility to keep back up copies of any data uploaded to our servers and to satisfy yourself of any system you establish to monitor the webspace contents and use.

4.2 We reserve the right to remove by immediate notice material placed on our servers by you or other users which we, in our reasonable opinion, believe violates this Agreement or is otherwise harmful to our interests or the interests of other users of the Interactive Services and/or Internet Services.

the word 'Websites' appears nowere in the T&C consumer contract.
