Anyone have any suggestions on a good internet radio hosting provider? I'm looking to open a private internet radio station for my friends, but can't seem to find any from a google search that are worth my time.

If you're on cable, it's probably a violation of your TOS. I know with mine it is.
I'm looking a server with bandwidth that can have about 10-20 people on at the same time with high quality sound

It probably is, but I fail to see why it should be. You are allowed to run P2P software, right? If you aren't, then cable is not worth having. And if you are, setting up a server is just like P2P, only you have less connections and 1/100th the incoming traffic, so why should this bother ISPs?

I think it's abominable that ISPs think they can tell people what they can do with their computer.
"NO YOU CAN'T RUN A SERVER"
OK then, all Windows users are in violation of your TOS because Windows comes running a whole bunch of unsecured servers.

a) They might randomly scan ports of their customers on occasion.
b) It's probably not a comprehensive scan. Pick an unusual port number.
c) Even if they do catch you, if you haven't been abusing bandwidth like no tomorrow they'll probably just send you a warning. They do want your money, after all.

I used to run a CS server off my cable connection. The only thing that happened is the players kept mysteriously getting their legs broken... due to my messing with the gravity.

Always use strange, random port numbers over 10000 (and under 64K of course). Using well-known or nice-looking ports gets you to nowhere: ISPs will more easily see what's being done, others will more easily detect what you have running (and possibly exploit it), and routers/proxies/caches/etc. might feel like capping you. This goes specially for P2P.
