I'm assuming some basic levels of competence and a reluctance to flat-out lie when I complain about a provision that can be used to boot people on a whim.
I shouldn't need a business account unless I want a better service level or I'm running a business.
That's the problem. I have no clue whatsoever if it would violate their TOS. The TOS is so vague as to be meaningless when it comes to figuring out if a noncommercial use is banned or not.
Whether a rule is vague is not binary. They can leave themselves some wiggle room while still providing rules that can be understood.
Your Google Fiber account is for your use and the reasonable use of your guests. Unless you have a written agreement with Google Fiber permitting you do so, you should not host any type of server using your Google Fiber connection, use your Google Fiber account to provide a large number of people with Internet access, or use your Google Fiber account to provide commercial services to third parties (including, but not limited to, selling Internet access to third parties).
If that isn't good enough for you I guess either buy business class and be happy you are in compliance, or don't.

Okay, introduction.
>host any type of server using your Google Fiber connection,
Server is not defined. It says 'any type' but this is blatantly incorrect, as the FAQ says you are permitted game servers, videoconferencing serving, etc.
>use your Google Fiber account to provide a large number of people with Internet access,
Okay no subleasing, that's reasonable and clear.
> or use your Google Fiber account to provide commercial services to third parties (including, but not limited to, selling Internet access to third parties).
That all falls under commercial, fine.
Note that nowhere does it actually explain what I can and can't do non-commercially. It only says a single thing is banned, 'server', but server is somewhere between not-defined and incorrectly-defined.
The commercial restrictions are clear. The restriction against using the household internet on more than a household or so is clear. The restrictions on what you can do non-commercially are insultingly vague.
How are you going to ensure you aren't bothering others? They aren't going to give you access to their NOC so you can view their TP99 performance and see if you are a culprit. This service could be not anything to worry about in network segment A, but a large issue in segment B. It can't be broadly defined as a simple flat metric and apply to every neighborhood in the country.
If you are worried about the case above I think the choices would be: Buy a personal connection, run your service and worry about running afoul, don't run your service and be happy with a personal connection, run your service with a business account from the start and don't be worried.
