Advertised is 50 / 25, real speed is 60 / 29.
It would be the same with the business plan.

I can always refund clients for power outages (if it's paid).
But my Internet connection never had problems with reliability or connection drops or anything like that. The ping is almost as good as a datacenter's.

The hosting service will probably be free, since I would have a LOT of capacity for a maximum of $50/month.

Even though home-hosting will be less reliable, the tremendous advantage of cheap hardware and the cheap upgrading cost is too much to turn this method down. I also do not care about using consumer-grade hardware and overclocking it, since this presents more than enough performance to compensate for the slightly reduced reliability.

home broadband speed will never beat a datacenter network speed.. plus you'll be using it too

i've got speeds at 50mbps upload and download says my provider yet i only get around 15mbps max, not even that in most cases. broadband speed checkers are stuff in this case of deterring the advertising speed from the actual speed

That's because your ISP is a turd, and uses an oversold network.
However Verizon FiOS more than matches it's advertised speeds.

The rest of the devices will be doing mostly client-sided stuff, which uses more download than upload.

That is not nearly enough for a hosting service.
