I 100% agree with this. But running a Tor exit node on the
only public IP address that you have, and also running your own traffic
through it doesn't sound good to me. Maybe in terms of
liability of the traffic - which traffic was Phil and which was the Tor
exit node etc? I suppose it depends on whether or not you care about
that, but law enforcement might (if that bothers people?). Maybe in
terms of services on the internet blocking Tor exit IP's e.g. Phil's
home IP address, which could be a problem, assuming it's a static IP.
If he was a relay, he wouldn't have these potential issues.

I don't think there is right answer with this. There are reasons either
way.
It all comes down to what people feel comfortable doing and their
specific situation.

I haven't suggested any bandwidth levels. You might be referring to
Phil I suspect. :)
