Also, something to consider, when you do pick a broadband provider, find out what ports they block. I know there was a recent flap in my area because Comcast, in their infinite wisdom, decided to not just block things like port 80/443/21 inbound, but also SSH and some of the ports things like OpenVPN use. Obviously, with some trial and error you can pick an inbound port they arent filtering on, but for f**ks sake, they should just let you use your broadband for what you want to do with it.
I don't know if this still holds, but, once-upon-a-time, some/many of the lower-end broadband providers (read: cable companies and ILECs) prohibitied VPNing over residential broadband services - in-bound or out-bound.
