Groan.... years ago, I had a T-1 running to a teleconferencing center I managed - over $1000 a month for 24 64-Kb channels, IIRC. Surely there has to be a better way in most places, if only cable Internet. I get 13 MB down, 2.5 MB up from Comcast, on their mid-grade "performance" service. No RFI either, and no twisted pair involved.
