I don't know; it seems like you are trying to solve the wrong set of
problems. Why not just build a business model based on paying T1
pricing? This will allow you to get your business rolling now without
routing worries like you currently have. Further, you can bond more T1s
as your needs grow. When you get sufficient size you can justify going a
different direction and possibly even save money. Again, if you have a
business model based on T1 pricing then cheaper bandwidth down the road
will only help.

I can get a single T1 with a 3 year commit for $517... several times
more than the $150 now I pay for 1 meg bursting to 5 or 6. 2xT1 is
$1011, 3xT1 is $1490, 4xT1 is $1860.
One of the things on my plate is getting fiber built into the tandem CO
in town where a dozen carriers exist. Last quote I got from an
alternate provider was (IP only) $360 for 3 years for 3 megs burstable
to 9 megs. Now that requires me to become a CLEC and build fiber into
the CO, but the costs for that provide a whole lot more opportunity and
are much better long term than those outrageous T1 fees ($1330 per month
at a 6 meg commit goes a long way to paying back the investment in the
project).
