I hosted my web site at home for many years. I got some of
my pages mentioned on Metafilter once, and my bandwidth went
through the roof. Or at least it tried to. It pegged it at
the outbound 128kb/s limit for a couple of days.

I finally moved my web site when the outbound bandwidth got
up to 2GB a month. It was making the DSL connection slow for
home browsing use.

All that said, I've been very happy with the PacBell^H^H^H^H^H^H
SBC DSL service.
