How does running a server, assuming it's used some amount of internet bandwidth, handle residential internet speeds? If I've got a gig up and down, can I reasonably run like a jellyfin for my friends?

    My isp hasn't complained. I have fiber at my house and symmetrical gigabit. You should be fine if you transcode to reduce bandwidth needed as you still use your own internet. But I'm not running jellyfin on my home server.

    Most servers you rent are only going to have 1Gbps internet speeds too unless you're paying extra, so if you've got symmetrical gigabit at home, you're 100% good to go, except for maybe higher downtime than a datacenter. My fiber at home seems to go out for a bit overnight occasionally as they're doing maintenance.
