As far as @Home goes, or in this case Comcast@Home one only need read the
subscriber agreement to see what you can and can't do. There's a lot you
can't do with their residential service:

http://www.comcastonline.com/subscriber-v3-clr.asp
Just scroll down to 6. Prohibited Uses of the Service.
They used to, (maybe they still do),  scan *their* network for news servers
after @Home was threatened with a UDP, (Usenet Death Penalty), because so
many customers had open proxies allowing Usenet spam. The point being, it is
*their* network so they can tell you how you can use it or you can get
access someplace else.
