The old-fashioned American way. I started a business, got the T1 on a five-year contract, then 14 months into that contract my business failed. I moved the T1 back to my house and have just enough hosting and co-location work to pay for it.
It's about $1500/month for the line and the bandwidth. I may cut it back to half a T1 if the client work ever drops off, but that still gives the Cellar a lot of head room. In fact I believe that the Cellar already takes more bandwidth than all my other sites combined... except for maybe achenet.org.
And that's how I'm the only person in my area to have a T1 to my house. It's a lot of fun, but not really worth the hassle...
If anyone needs co-location, hosting, or frankly anything else net-related, I'm yer guy.
