My Internet just by itself is $79 for 50x10 and I can run a server or
servers using NAT (1 IP). I assume if I were using residential it would
be $55?? - based on the $25 difference when I switched over to business
3 years ago.

Everything I need to do outside is more or less personal, unless my
servers need an update or something, or I vpn somewhere else. I
found
out a few years ago cox stopped filtering a lot of things on
residential, lo and behold I could now hit 443 on residential service
- then I really didn't need business services.
The business package was only $25 more a month and they do allow
servers. I don't think my rates haver gone up in 4 years.
That is good to know as well, I'd be good with a 50x10 service for
~80/mo if I got another address, or could. I moved my personal stuff
outside of my server lans (I just used a "user" stub off my asa) and
moved to a separate dd-wrt system, the bit about another address was
the first time I'd thought about "needing" business services,
otherwise I only call when I need to tell them to fix something
specific and definitely.
Interesting enough, they offer L2 backhaul services on modems, ie.
virtual circuits to terminate them back to a coi internet on metro
ethernet, ocx, etc, even for resale. There are companies reselling
cox modem bandwidth backhaul now now, providing "value add services"
at a pop, layering on video and other services, and providing their
own internet pipes for them (or just egressing with cox bandwidth
anyways). I thought it might be cool to group in with friends to go
off-net or centralize internet egress somewhere ala a corp net, if
they're reselling them as that+ fees, must be able to get them at an
affordable price as a reseller. Real L2 lan between homes without the
outside world, no vpn.
Split the bandwidth, just pay for transit, lan party remotely. :)
