I work from home and have Cox Business. I have had one short outage in
3 or 4 years compared to one or two every year while on a consumer plan.
I ran a server for a short time and it seemed to be fine. I suspect
some latency since it is not a direct connection to the Internet. They
have always treated me well. When I switched over from consumer to
business it cost an additional $25/mo. Not sure of the marginal cost
today. I'm planning on setting up a server when I get the time and do
my own hosting... at least for a while to both same money and learn. And
I think initially there is a contract. From then on it is month to
month which cost more so there is an incentive to be on a contract.
