Cox's current AUP explicitly forbids servers (at least without "express
authorization"):
"You may not operate, or allow others to operate, servers of any type
or any other device, equipment, and/or software providing server-like
functionality in connection with the Service, unless expressly
authorized by Cox."

Yes, ISTR running into this on the homelab reddit, that AT&T is one of
the few major ISPs to allow servers on residential connections. In
their AUP, they prettly clearly only forbid them on dial-up accounts:
