If you want to run your own server, get an appropriate connection for that.

By "appropriate" do you mean, "one that Comcast deems appropriate" or one that is technically appropriate?

Believe it or not, there was a time, before ownership of the internet was turned over to the big telecoms, when you could host whatever kind of service you wanted on your internet connection. Back when there were these things called "ISPs" that you paid and they gave you bandwidth and that was pretty much the end of it.
