I doubt that would allow porn. Any ideas? What about hosting porn clips like xvideos.com? I doubt that would allow porn. Any ideas?

No issues at all. Remember, most tube streams are 128K or 256K per stream... I'm now running 50/50 and still rarely see more than 20% utilization with 40K visitors a day to my sites.

That is pretty much the only thing that I am concerned with. I guess hosting video would eat up your bw pretty quickly to huh? Hey what about protection against DDOS attacks?

We're actually hosting our sites on a FIOS 35/35 connection too. We're looking into doing some "poor mans" co-location by using DNS failover (and/or round-robin), and having another server (also on a FIOS 35/35 connection) sitting on the side lines waiting. Servers are located in two separate states, with nice UPSes. But their both FIOS, so if something happens with Verizon, we're screwed,.. but so is everyone else :-) Ohhh UPS on the ONT, yeah,.. learned that the hard way. As the Verizon operator told me, "If you loose power, you won't be able to use your computer, because a computer needs power" I explained, that a laptop runs on batteries,.. she didn't know what an UPS was.

Speed is the key for us and for many users. The FIOS internet circuit is delivered straight to our firewall, and the users are VERY happy – we are doing some minimal VOIP as well.
