We've got serveral 384k/6MBit 'commercial' DSL lines from SNET (a la SBC). We get about 4.5MB peak out of each one but we're only paying 120 bux for each so what do we care.
We've bonded/balanced them on the downstream using some software from Vicomsoft. We're paying less than 500 bux a month for a 12MBit downstream pipe.:)
We've also got a SDSL line from xo rated at 1MBit which has been quite good (so far) though we've only had it a week. We pay 350 bux or so for that.
In all it's far cheaper than dragging some fiber out for my needs. It'd be nice if the telco could keep their end up for more than a few weeks at a time though.
