In their little survey about what your needs are for speed, they specifically
ask if you will be running a webserver.  But this might be for "Business DSL"
which typically has a higher cost than "non-commercial" DSL.

So if you want to download music, etc. you can get the lower-cost DSL service.

But if you want to run a business and have a web server...you pay.

Just a guess, but an educated one.
