with high speed internet even at homes, what benefit is "10 Mbit Ethernet" in todays terms? what kind of projects can you use this speed with? i would be interested to know... i use a 30mbps home internet connection with somewhat dynamic ipv6. i use duckdns to bypass that and it works wonderfully. i have a couple of pi 3b+ and and zeros in the router USB ports itself from where they get their power from. they get internet via wifi or a small patch cable. this means as long as wifi router has internet, my machines will run. granted they are all dangling and flopping around but still... i have started into self hosting and other similar stuff and i find the pis on the local network with this power work great. i would be interested in this. oh, the next big thing^(tm), are there any hosting providers who do managed pi as a service? like they use similar to your setup and like amazon does mac mini, does someone do pi? you get a managed pi for cheap and they can host a tonne of users in a small space for cheap

  nice. so you get to use a pi 4 8gb which costs £81.90 on amazon uk and they charge you 125 for a year of storage, power, bandwidth, device. nice

If you have a CDN in front of your website and a good packet filter / firewall / DDOS protection and you mostly serve cachable (static) content, then 10 Mbit Ethernet can do more than one might think.

  I ran an image / file hosting service off an old computer in my parent's basement when I was in high school. You can do more than you might think with ~1mbps upload even.

Some ISPs are stricter than others about not running servers on residential internet accounts. Sometimes they just plain block ports, especially for email so they don't have to deal with virus-laden spam relays on customer's PCs. And if you're on cable, you might only be guaranteed 5 mbit/s upload, and actually using that much all the time would contribute to congestion on your node (shared by your neighbors).
