Sorry.  Been away for long enough (about a year is all) I guess :)

Stateside, or even in HK, IPs are far easier to get...  Bandwidth is far
cheaper, come to think of it.  1.5 mbps download, 512 upload is pretty cheap
here.

Even cheaper if you settle for a dynamic IP with PPPoE that remains static
more or less forever (Seems to be bound to the MAC address of your NIC, from
what I can see).

/27 is more or less the internationally accepted minimum if you want ISPs to
advertise your net.
