And lucky you. I pay $450/month for a T1 which is the

I live because there is no universal service.
For you folks with crappy net connections, first I have felt your pain,
my condolences. I live in the Santa Cruz mountains in a rural area even
for the mountains. So no cable, no reliable DSL.
But what we do have is line of sight to a tower on Loma Prieta. I worked
a deal with Etheric where I get 8Mbit down and up guaranteed and they let
it burst to available space on the radio. I average about 20 down/up, it
sometimes goes lower but that's the average. Just tried now and 25 down/up.
I worked a 5 year prepaid deal with them and got them down to $130/month.
It's point to point wifi and works really well. See if you can get some
of that.
