I've got a T1 from Cambridge Bandwidth Consortium.  I buy a local
loop from Verizon and then pay CBC for a port and connectivity.
It's certainly pricier than FiOS or Cablemodem, but I do get
a business-level SLA.  CBC routes my class-C for me :)

I'm happy to provide more information privately if anyone is interested.
