Sure you can I have until they started limiting my upload speeds so yes until you start reaching a certain limit. It depends on how much traffic you website brings if its just you and say a couple of others you can probably get away with it. If its you and say several hundred people probably not because just like they have a limited on bits downloaded they also have a limit on bits uploaded. Best thing to do is to set it up, use a bandwidth monitor. If they don't send you a warning letter you should be OK. If they send you a warning letter, check you meter on your bandwidth monitor and that should tell you have much bandwidth to sign up for should you choose to get a hosting plan, or to limit the amount of data you are serving.

Here is the monitor I used it give a large amount of data usage on the server
such as how much data you transfer a day to what hour you transfer the most data. It not free but it is a useful tool for tracking you website.

Most of the time if you usage is more then what Comcast allows you can use a free hosting service like googlepages to host all of you content and just redirect you domain name to it that what I end up doing. googlepages don't use any ads or any thing like that on it hosted pages which is a plus. For example take a look at my site hosted on googlepages
http://pacustoms423.googlepages.com/

You don't have to use their site creator either you can use your own favorite web tool and just upload the page to your web folder really handy if you already have a google account.

Also keep in mind that if you are using your home plan to calculate the amount of data you use on it for example if you do a lot of streaming especially HD content(ie. youtube, netflix, hulu, etc), online gaming, or even a lot of web browsing.

As it was stated before, the Terms of Service (which they have been updating actively lately) won't allow for PUBLIC services. For a personal server, it's OK.
