  So?  Their ToS explicitly prohibit hosting services.  Sometimes they
even enforce it.

  I've noticed that a lot of people seem to assume that just because
they got away with someone once, or even a bunch of times, that it
follows that they will always be able to get away with it.  :)

  I'm not saying that inbound traffic is what triggered your recent
trouble, just that past behavior has little bearing on what Comcast
(hardly a model of consistency at the best of times) does this week or
next.

  Outbound traffic tends to attract attention earlier, since that's
usually spam from a compromised 'doze computer.
