This is talking about the upload speeds, not how much bandwidth is required. I run a few remote websites and file servers, and I'm always uploading files to them from home, so the low upload speed really sucks for that. It might not be much traffic, but when I'm uploading a multi-megabyte file and it takes a long time, that's what I don't like.

Stuff like Remote Desktop would also be much better with faster uploads if I need to access my home computer from work. It would also help with my Slingbox

try reading his post next time. nowhere does he imply he's using his home connection as a web server; rather, he is uploading files from his home connection to his web host and he doesn't like how long it takes to upload.

if he was hosting a website at home, why would he need to upload files to his web server?

Exactly, thank you MattE.

I know Slingbox and Remote Desktop could be considered a type of server, but its nothing like running your own website.

My work is on a T1 line and our website is hosted on it, sometimes I work at home on the website and need to upload files or VPN to work, this would be MUCH faster with a faster upload speed.

running your own websites and servers it what a BUSINESS ACCOUNT is for. Try reading the TOS of your ISP.

Try reading his post. He's not running a web server on his home connection, he's uploading files to his website FROM HOME.

He runs a few remote websites and file servers. He uploads files to those servers from home. Therefore, his servers are not on his home connection.
