With the expansion of Fibreglass networks, it seems to me that it will soon be possible to place your server at home and host it from there. This would mean no bandwidth costs and total control over your server.

But what else will this implicate?

A friend of mine already does this and is getting a 2nd fibreglass connection. The downside is, is that usually you don't have all spare parts for a server, what happens if you have a harddrive break on a saturday evening.... You;d have to wait untill monday to be able to get a new one.

Ok, awesome! Well, then you're all set to go I guess! Poweroutage - you won't have a generator, but the chances of having a big poweroutage in NL isn't huge.

They do make battery backups for a reason

What kind of download and more importantly upload speeds are we talking about here?

100mbit? at home?

Oh man! Where do you live? Need to move!

The fibreglass company says it would be 2GB up/downstream.

Yes, you did read that correct.

Power supply is indeed something to look into. We rarely have outages, but that should not have effect on downtime. I am sure I should be able to find some kind of battery backups for this. Any recommendations?

I live in Holland BTW

Oh wow.

The connection from you to the provider might be 2GB up/down but I honestly doubt you could run a torrent client with 2GB upstream to clients outside your provider's network (assuming you have the hardware)...!?

We're talking about end user connections right? For an affordable monthly fee?
