They would be stupid to allow servers. Buy your own business line if you want that. Google doesn't want others losing bandwidth because some people want to run

- gnoway 13y agoThe prohibition on servers has very little to do with network bandwidth. It has a lot to do with people bandwidth - overhead associated with support, security and compliance.
- lucb1e 13y agoThere is a reason the internet was designed with end to end connectivity in mind. If my ISP randomly start filtering packets, like AWS traffic or incoming TCP SYN packets, net neutrality is broken and I will break the contract with that ISP right away. Contract or not, they won't get another penny. It's a different matter if I consume 5TB of data per month and it's costing them a lot of money on bandwidth to upstream providers. But filtering servers altogether is plain old evil. It doesn't cost them anything and they don't have to decide what's right for me.
- Fogest 13y agoI don't think Google looks for traffic originating from a server specifically. I doubt it is really even possible as it would look just like traffic from a normal computer.
