You should weigh the consequences before you act.  Is it worth the risk
of having your athome account canceled?  Do you have other options, like
DSL, or would you be back to a dialup connection?

If you've been using broadband so long, you've forgot what dialup is like,
I recommend you try it for awhile to refresh your memory.  It's not fun!
I know, that's the only option available at home.

Also, have you looked into the free web page services?  I never used them,
but are services like geocities still free???

The other legal way to do it is to check into a "business" connection with
a DSL or cable provider.  (or pay for hosting off site)
