With the rising VPS costs I'm starting to wonder if it's better to move my VPS in-house(:D). Electricity-wise I might be break-even but I wonder if the bandwidth I get from my ISP will be the same, not that my services are high-traffic anyway.

the main issue you'd run into is probably your ISP's NAT

you generally need a stable IP, and a firewall that'll let people initiate connections from outside your house

I find that most ISPs provide that. Generally you have a stable (though not permanently so) IP through DHCP, and most ISPs aren't doing CGNAT.
