If you're in NYC, I'll bet you can get a T1 for less than you think. The big carriers are really hurting right now and competition is fierce. Prices are dropping. Maybe not as low as $500 (although I've heard of T1's going for less, including the local loop - depending on the location). Depending on your housing situation, there are ways to split the costs of a T1. Resell to neighbors, run coax through your backyards if necessary, wire up your apartment building. If your chief concern is cutting the telco out of a profit, then you're going to pay for the privilege. Jim
