Yes, most companies will charge you more for going over your limit. We had to pay a fairly large sum because of it so we switched to unlimited download.

Depends on the amount of players in each server, I ain't no networking genius but I guess that it would use quite a bit (also with what you personally will use)

Roughly 1.26TB per month for 100 players iirc. Upstream B/W is much more expensive than downstream b/w from your ISP afaik.
Servers require a fast upstream to actually hold the players. Most internet home providers limit this at roughly 40kB/s, so running a hosting company off it is virtually useless, as that speed could only hold a low amount of players.
Plus with the addition of poor peering with home internet connections and only a single ISP peer, the internet from your home line is virtually useless for hosting.
Your choice though, Just sayin - remember what happened with Connor and GTA24 (oh boy...)
