Port 25 outbound doesn't matter, since I could come out on any port
and connect to port 25 on the other end. I send outbound via TLS
to the ISP so that's not a problem.
Port 80 inbound is a real problem. That means I can't run a web server
from my home without the business class. That's a deal breaker.
The incremental bump to business class from residential is pretty small
($+15 for the 25Mbs synchronous), which gives you a static ip.
That said, I also agree with the linode statements, super reliable, and
it's quite nice to not have to worry about power outages in the area
affecting uptime on services.

There is no silver bullet. Plus, werewolves make better neighbors
than zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
