It would be a bit expensive, but I could make money on the side, to friends and family, etc, £5 per month each VBG!

The cable modem comes with the cable subscription in nearly all cases. Over-the-counter purchase is too much of a pig in the poke.
The cable modem is just an cable-to-ethernet converter. Your cable company will assign you IP address by DHCP, generally. Imail and most mail servers need a fixed ip address, and 250-user would be kind of expensive just for home.
