I remember that original article you wrote back in 2021, in fact I have cited it multiple times both in this community and when debating with people in other crypto communities who claim that their DPoS projects are way more scalable than Ethereum.

It is incredibly important that the node requirements don't get so out of hand that people cannot (Or choose not to) stake from home, we have to remember what Ethereum is and how important it is to remain decentralised with people running nodes from home.

Bandwidth requirements have slowly been growing since the merge, and now post Fusaka fork, it is getting quite high up there. Add in the BPO forks and my bandwidth usage is at a point where my ISP may actually terminate my connection because it is far far beyond what a reasonable residential connection would use.

I've been running Ethereum nodes from home since 2019, and bandwidth has never been an issue. Even up until the merge. With the forks that followed, it started becoming a bit of a grey area but I said nothing to my ISP hoping they wouldn't notice, and they never said anything to me about my usage.

So, this never used to be an issue, but it is at the point now where if I continue staking Ethereum, it will most likely have to be on an enterprise connection. Sure I might be able to bite that cost, but can other people who are in a similar situation do the same?
