Edmund, Check with Xspedius Communications, http://www.xspedius.com.
We originally had a single Eatel T1 line for our LAN Internet traffic, but after getting wind they were shutting down services about 5 months ago we new we had to switch... Xspedius was already bringing in lots of bandwidth for another project on site, so we added a little more and partitioned off the services... I've got 8 T1's bundled together and I very rarely have any issues (in fact, the only time I've been dark was during Hurricane Katrina, at it was a BellSouth issue).
