Heh, and you'll be scared at the price of GiG-E shared connections. I mean, you can buy GigE ports on a shared link for about $100 a month or something shocking - hell they even throw in a free server and 5TB free bandwidth.
I fell off my chair when I did a apt-upgrade on our newest server and saw "100% 63MBps" after a few seconds on a 200MB update.

Eish, pity it's so expensive, $4000 is a bit rough, otherwise I would have suggested this as a handy research tool for MyADSL. Perhaps someone with access could provide the relevant data to rpm?
