"Officially", no. In practice, they don't care as long as you're not consuming the entire neighborhood's bandwidth. You certainly shouldn't be running a web server or something like that off your cable connection (although I've done it sometimes for special purposes using a dynamic DNS connector, when I know volume would be low anyway).
I have two computers here hooked up to a Linksys Cable/DSL router and no one's complained. On the R/R end they only see the one IP address being used by the router. Technically if you're hooking up more than one system they want you to buy an additional IP address for each computer (they make money that way).
They also don't like you using your regular cable connection for business purpose (i.e., logging on to the corporate network with a VPN application). On rare occasion they've been known to politely ask such users to consider upgrading to Business Class (which is almost $90 a month, but you get fixed IP and more bandwidth for the price).
