T1's are so cheap nowadays...I remember the days of $5,000/month though as well...had an ISP back in '96...we paid about $1,500 for a 56k Fractional T1 line to get started in the dial-up biz, lol.
Where I'm at now, we had T1 lines for about $775/month and as cheap as $500/month.. of course it helped that we were connected directly to the local fiber network that went between all of the phone companies in the area (we were in an old office building of one of the small telephone companies in the area), so we didn't have local loop fees to worry about, which is what makes those prices so high in the first place.
Some of the wireless gear out there can push over 54mbps to a single connection, wish I had THAT kind of connection to my house right now.
