Don't kid yourself. First of all, you never stated it was on a cable connection, if someone wasn't familiar with connection speeds and what not, they wouldn't know until all of a sudden it was too slow.
Secondly, more disk space and bandwidth per month don't mean crap if your site runs slow as heck. And no, it doesn't come close to what you can get w/ a 100mbit line. Heck, a T1 maxes out around 140k/sec or so. Your line is 1/2 of that for what counts, the upload speed. So you are giving a max of 80k/sec. If you don't include any of your surfing and have 10 clients on, each getting their mix downloaded at the same time, you are around 8k/sec. That is HORRIBLE. What happens if you have 120 clients, each getting a mix dl'd at the same time? These are all the reasons why you pay for hosting and don't have it hosted at your house. When you pay for hosting, you get the luxury of being on the fast lines. It isn't too difficult to find hosting that offers 1GB storage (which is way more than you need - an average dj mix is < 100MB) and 100GB bandwidth (again, way more than you need until you build up an online following) for cheap.
Plus, it is prob. really difficult to use up 100GB of bandwidth per month at the speeds the site runs at.
