Another option is to use the old PII u have sitting in the garage and set up a ClearOS box. (previously knows as Clarkconnect)

Only takes a few minutes to set up, included linux firewall, web proxy report (great when u have teens at home), will handle the metering great plus give a ton of extra benefits.
"There was no electricity in the city, and almost every office and store was closed. Bodies still floated in the floodwaters, and everywhere were signs of recent disorder: shattered storefronts, the detritus of looting that showed help had come too late. There was no water or food for sale, and no one had any idea how many people were still in New Orleans. A police officer making rescues in a boat said several people in homes five feet deep in water had turned him away, saying they had plenty of food, water and beer.
Why not just go to http://www.autopatcher.com/ and d/l the latest full update. Whenever I do an O.S. reinstall for clients (which is becoming more often lately) I have a cd with the latest autopatcher full update and a copy of zone alarm. Before I connect it to the net I have the o.s. patched completely and a fire wall up. Nice part about autopatcher is its a start and forget update. Grab a beer and come back when it's finished.
Having run a Win2k server at home for years (yeah havent upgraded it works w what i have) Being able to set up a chat server on the fly or drop a folder into my ftp server anytime i want or create hosts of virtual drives to whatever I needed eclipsed anything a hosted service could ever do for me. Running icecast to stream my music to work!
