Probably true. Ars Technica has an article about a guy using close to a terabyte a week in bandwidth on a residential connection. Turns out that he had like 10 rack servers being used by friends and neighbors for movies and such. The ISP suggested that a business internet connection was a better choice for the amount of bandwidth being consumed. The guy admitted that he was in violation of his terms of service because he had the servers connected, but just couldn’t see paying almost double for the business service.
For those that are arguing that everything is a server, there’s a difference between a hardware device whose primary purpose is data storage and retrieval and software that permits communication between itself and a client. The distinction is that hardware controls the dissemination of data.
