Consumer-grade connections are not suitable for serious server use and thus comparing their pricing to prices for real commercial links is useless.

Consumer links lack redundancy, reliability, service level agreements, etc., they're in your house, not a climate-controlled datacenter with redundant power feeds, and finally, most ISPs will cut you off if you try to use your home internet connection at anywhere near its full capacity 24/7 (and yes, this applies even to supposedly "unlimited" connections; check your terms of service for words like "excessive" and "interfere" and "sole judgement").
