One option to consider if you really want to host something is to get some space at your local transit provider collocation space. You have access to considerably larger amounts of bandwidth without all the complications of getting the path to your home to be sufficiently high bandwidth, and with sufficient capacity for your purposes. If you want something relatively highly available then power redundancy is important, and in my opinion leaning on existing infrastructure for this purpose is an additional benefit of this approach.

Setting that up will be a lot more in depth and complicated than leveraging a cloud service provider, so you need to consider the cost benefit analysis for yourself. However, if you want to self host and want the bandwidth, I think it is a route worth considering.

Not to mention the expense!

Colocation is dirt cheap compared to how expensive "the cloud" can become.
