with a transparent proxy +ISP proxy they can get abuse complaints
about their proxy or maybe (with really good http header evaluation)
about my proxy. So the complaints are all about proxys but not about
a customer.

I think that's a bad idea because many people think that you can identify a person
by using the IP number and i don't want to support that myth. If everyone would 
use tor, the only sure thing about IP numbers and identification would be that if you
find an IP number in an log file, you can be sure that this person (the one who pays
for that internet access) was NOT there!
Another point is that without a tor server my home would be vulnerable to traffic 
analysis and a further point is that a tor server is more safe than only a client.

That's no problem: Common private internet access is highly assymetric. 
In germany it is e. g. 16.000 kbit/s down and 1.000 kbit/s up but tor is symmetric. 
So from the theoretic maximum of 17.000 tor can use only 2.000 - roughly 
one tenth. That's not much.
