Its kind of silly to watch so many people trying to turn this into a major issue.

My ISP didn't enforce the no-servers rule so I was able to run home servers but you shouldn't have rules that violate net neutrality that you "choose" when to enforce. People need to be able to tinker and figure things out without artificial restrictions that exist purely so that they can claim to not have bandwidth caps. It's borderline false advertisement and a violation of net neutrality.
https://fiber.google.com/help/ : Can I run a server from my home?
Our Terms of Service prohibit running a server. However,
use of applications such as multi-player gaming,
video-conferencing, home security and others which may
include server capabilities but are being used for legal
and non-commercial purposes are acceptable and encouraged.One is a piece of paper and the other is network technology. Can you guess which is which?
The point of net neutrality is that any Internet connected computer should be able to communicate with any other Internet connected computer, without having to pay surcharges or extra fees, without limitations on protocols, directions, purpose, content, etc. It makes no difference if you are being restricted by a contract or by a technical system. If you are unable to host servers using your Internet connection you are not enjoying net neutrality, regardless of why you cannot host servers.
Sending email spam, downloading child porn, etc, etc also violates their ToS. However just as long they as treat those packets the same as any other packet they are network neutral.
