Thanks for the your answers. I have decided to go for the VPS in the beginning and later, build my own server at home. Since it's gonna be an experimental setup at first I'll try not to invest too much so I'm looking for cheap VPS accepting crypo.
I will take in consideration the port 8333 issue, thanks Jet Cash.
Topic: Full Node and Lightning Node bandwidth question. (Read 169 times)
Your internet connection is above minimum requirement for Bitcoin Core and AFAIK LN use/require less bandwitch since your node only manage transaction which pass/use through your channel. Things might be different if lots of people route their transaction through your channel or you're connected to lots channel, but you don't need to worry about this if you're not merchant or offer any kind of services.
If your average internet speed is still above minimum requirement for Bitcoin Core, run these full nodes with physical machine at your home.

If you are going to run a full node on VPS, make sure that you are able to use port 8333. I have a VPS plan that restricts this.
You will be fine with 7Mbit..
Here you can check some stats of full node running https://statoshi.info/
Specifically bandwidth is this graph https://statoshi.info/dashboard/db/bandwidth-usage

I'm planning to run two nodes sometime soon, but I have to decide which solution is better.
To build a physical machine home or get a VPS.
And here comes the question about the Internet bandwidth.
I have a shitty ADSL line with no more than 7Mbit connection, in the best cases.
What is the real bandwidth required for the Full node and same question for the LN node, does the number of open channels affect the bandwidth.

I believe it heavily depends on the number of simultaneous connections you'll allow. (Default = 125?), https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node#reduce-maximum-connections
For the exact requirements on full nodes, see https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node#minimum-requirements , which states

A broadband Internet connection with upload speeds of at least 400 kilobits (50 kilobytes) per second
As far as lightning goes, i would assume so, but perhaps someone with more knowledge than me can answer that.
