Assigned carrier address space - can I use a .0?

I was assigned a /28 from a carrier as additional NAT address space. I've used everything from .1 - .15, but not .0. I've never tried this before, but would it be possible to have a host use the .0 address?

On a LAN where it's a broadcast domain I wouldn't bother trying, but this would be a pure routed solution. Seeing as how I have already assigned and used the "broadcast" address of the subnet, that's where I'm coming from and questioning whether I can use the network address.
