[plug] advanced routing

[Ben New]

Without knowing anything about your location or circumstances, would it 
be possible to just upgrade to adsl?

Assuming you're a regular paying customer in the metro area, you're 
probably paying say $20pm for a dialup connection, then the phone line 
at another $25pm, plus the call costs, you're looking at $50pm+ right? 
You could be on 256k adsl for $45pm (after setup and equipment of course)

(I have no affiliation with these guys, just the best prices I've found 
atm, resellers of swift).

Unless of course you're /not/ a regular metro paying customer in which 
case just ignore me ;-)

And of course, this doesn't help you control the traffic, just gives you 
more road to play with :-)
