Alot of ISPs use the "no servers" clause to ban file-sharing such as BitTorrent.
A quick reply to that is to ask if that means you cannot host a multiplayer game with your friends, because that *IS DEFINITELY* a server.
(If they say you're not allowed to do that either, you may want to change ISPs anyway.)
Also, you can really get anal with them about how their 'broadband' is consumer fraud...because minimum broadband speeds is defined to be 128kilobits/sec (about 12 KB/sec download/upload speeds) and you're not seeing even that with various legal uses of the internet.
If they claim what you're doing is illegal, then ask why the BBC in UK is also doing "bittorrent" with their shows.
If they claim they're doing it to prevent you doing something illegal, then tell them they are legally libel too if you accidently get in trouble while they are spying on you.
One of the real things to test is if you can take your computer to a friend's house (preferably on a different ISP) and hook it up to the internet there and see if speeds still suck...that rules out problems on your end, which lying ISPs like to say: "It's your fault, not ours that you cannot get max speed from our connection...we do not block file sharing."
