The short answer is yes, they could. But sites like pornhub will invariably require things like 24/7 support and a service level agreement. Maybe even DDoS protection. These options are only available in limited capacity via their "Business" plan or to full effect via their Enterprise plan.

I contacted them about a year ago and wanted a commitment of 200mbit and was turned of by their quote of close to $32/Mbit. This was for the enterprise plan.
