It's pretty hard to tell as you haven't given an estimate of your expectations. You can try it and see how it goes.
Personally, I would try it with your setup only if you don't pay for overuse. Otherwise, I would start with a small unlimited VPS or dedicated (depending on what I have available) and scale from there.
You can get a 100Mbps unlimited VPS for less than 5$ a month if you manage it yourself.
Can you manage your servers?

Okay, thanks.
I currently have managed hosting. I have tweaked it myself, etc. so I probably could setup my own server by myself, but I rather don't. I am essentially consultant (not this kind), I wouldn't want to get too deeply involved into technical stuff at this level. I have enough on my plate already.
I thought more like hardware wise. That bandwidth is easier to solve, but your example clearly proved that I don't have enough bandwidth for videos with current setup.
My porn sites have just pics at the moment and that setup runs it well enough. I just thought that how much would adding some videos change that situation. I have no idea how much those demand from the hardware.
My current setup pays about 65 $ per month.
