I've been running the following services from my comcast account for 4 years 
(TCI, then AT&T, and now Comcast) and they are accessible to the real world. 

CVS
HTTP
HTTPS
SMTP

In fact, I'm running a no-ip.com daemon on my box so I have my dhcp IP address 
mapped to a host.domain - where the domain is supplied by no-ip.com.

Yes, I am breaking my customer agreement.  Of course, I'm not running a porn 
site, so my bandwith is not important enough for them to clamp down.

I have been happy with the service for the past 4 years - especially after 
AT&T fixed the bandwith allocation to be more consistent.

Go for it!
Jeff

P.S.  The reason Qwest DSL doesn't care what you run is because your pipe is 
not shared as mine is with comcast.  This is the fundamental difference 
between DSL and broadband.
