The best solution to migrate from BGP4 for incoming traffic

We have a bundled dual T1 via SBC, and a single via another provider; we use BGP4 and a couple of Cisco's to make sure failover works. It has been "tested" by some real failures... it works (I have even been asked about a Cable connection as an extra insurance policy.) Question: What would it take to extend this to do load balancing? On certain predictable days of the month we push the limit on the dual T1; I would love to have that spill over to the backup T1. Can that be done? And, unrelated question, can BGP4 be implemented over Cable? Can I give this site a non-phone-wire backup? ('Cause if SBC ever REALLY took a hit, it would knock out my current backup too.)
