SWB DSL for webhosting

Would it be wise to use SWB's DSL network to host a website that delivers around 1 million page views a month (around 30GB bandwidth/month)?

The pricing looks too good to be true - set up a unix box at home and pay $80 a month for 5 static ips and unlimited bandwidth. Compare that to $500+ to colocate that same unix box at a ISP...

Thanks for your input...
 
I have ADSL at home. I only have a max upload of 256k/sec which means it doesn't matter how many users connect to my computer, that is what all of them have to share. Also, DSL is not the most reliable service. I have only had a couple of problems thus far with connection timeouts and basic connectivity problems. If you are wanting a site and need bandwidth, it may be better to either pay for a T1(if you wish to host it yourself) or go through a webhosting company. You'll get better reliability and you will be able to have guaranteed bandwidth to your visitors.
