I doubt either would be very effective as a proper DDoS would be hitting the target with so many unwanted packets they would swamp wanted ones even on a 100Mbps connection.

I still maintain that a home connection is very unlikely target. A botnet is a very valuable resource and wouldn't be wasted on such a target. A script kiddy fails on the first D of DDoS but could conceivably cause some inconvenience if they had enough bandwidth at their disposal but once again why would they bother?
