I have servers at home. But I get 70mbs which would be equivalent to 20mbs on a business ips. Keep in mind Data center can handle more traffic. Think of it as a freeway that has 4 lanes vs 2 lanes. Even if the speed limit is higher on the 2lane, once you get alot of traffic it will slw down sooner.

the other thing to keep in mind. You will need to keep that server roughly bellow 70degrees, so you will need an air conditioned room 24/7. You will also need routers,switches, and a back up battery.
I guaranty you your electric bills will go up dramatically. Unless you have a separate room for it that you can pretty much sound proof I would not do it. It gets annoying specially at night when your trying to sleep
