how is the ban on residential servers on cablemodems compatible with the "must serve all" provisions of common carrier status via a public utilities commission?

@sneak those are largely unenforced and basically exist as something they can point at when you're running some heug thousands-of-users-per-hour service off a residential plan

@r000t it doesn't matter that they are unenforced. try running a major website doing real traffic from your cablemodem and see how fast you get unplugged. it's enforced 100% for meaningful levels of traffic.

@sneak
1) ligma.pro runs on a cable modem with a reverse proxy caching heug files

2) I literally just told you those clauses exist to have something to point at when terminating someone for running Facebook off their modem. Where are we disagreeing?

@r000t you said they were unenforced. i'm saying they are enforced 100% for any real hosting that matters or counts for anything. you can't do business on a residential connection, yet they are common carriers. how's that work? how is that legal?

@sneak >You can't do business on a residential connection.

Works as designed. You can use literally the same coax to the same service address for a business plan, and maybe even get a business SLA out of it!
