I don't see the word "backbone" in there, other than in the comments.

Your DSL line is part of the Internet, and doing more traffic puts more "strain" (FSVO "strain") on that link, even if the server is colocated with the cable head end.

So I don't see the problem here. But then, maybe I'm the one who is confused? :)
