Well that really depends on what the site is going to be like. If it's just a site which is mainly just text based wit a few images, and you're not running a highly popular website, an average internet connection should easily suffice.
On the other hand, if you're hosting a website with a lot of images with large on-site downloads, with a large amount of users, it's unlikely your connection will be able to handle the traffic, and even if it barely can you will find it hard to use the internet for just normal surfing.
However I fully agree with you, a home server that is designed to host a normal website isn't that practical for most internet connections. Despite that, it can be good if it's a passworded server for hosting files for personal use.

Indeed. I'm really pleased when my ISP writes to me to tell me how they've doubled the downrate of the connection for all users, but they never increase the uprate.
