As long as everything you are doing is for private non-commercial use.

If you are reselling your Virtual Hosting, etc, then you are in 
violation of the contracts.

I don't know if Verizon monitors and limits its DSL customer's traffic.
DCA definitely does NOT.
Comecast definitely DOES.

If Verizon does not monitor and limit, then it is probably an item like 
support for greater than 2400 baud modems on POTS -- as long as you 
don't tell them that you are trying to run 56K they will talk to you, 
but as soon as you say 56K, they will tell you it's not tariffed for 
that and that you have to buy a different service to run at that speed.
