You can get a T1 from Cogent for $400/mo. There's also the Cambridge
Bandwidth Collective, which can get you a T1 for less than that. Support
is on a do it yourself or wait for a volunteer to have time basis
however at the CBC.
I suspect that the problem with the area on the price/quality curve in
between $30/mo for a residential cable and $300/mo for a T1 with BGP is
there is not that much demand, so no economies of scale, so relatively
higher price and worse quality than you would expect if the curve was
smooth.
My suggestion: get 2 of the cheapest residential connections you can
find and set up a router to switch between them as one or the other is
down.
In a previous life we had two links at our office, where we had a small
datacenter - a Verizon FiOS Business line, and a Comcast Business line.
We used a RADware Linkproof to automatically fail between the links by
it being the DNS server, and when it detects a next-hop failure, doles
out the IP addresses of the other line. It worked, but the Linkproof was
a pain at times. Might be better solutions out there now.
