One of the things I found through 50days.net is that commercial hosting in London Telehouse was waaaay cheaper than ever trying to install that kind of bandwidth into our site. It shifted my paradigm. Put in a good SDSL line for local use and locate local services like file servers, development boxes on site. Then, put everything public at a hosting centre like Telehouse. The cool thing about Telehouse in addition to unbeatable access to bandwidth, you had 24/7 monitoring, security, power backup, etc. etc. all included in your hosting costs.
