What about assuming a 1800 kbps low level flat rate and all phone calls for free, except for some "exotic" ;) mobile net providers, for the whole family, including a mobile flat, 4 different phone numbers, video on demand, and much more you don't need, for 30€ per months? It is always said, we are so much in delay with such here, but seeing the above calculation, it is ten years back paying for nothing the triple money and wait for a day. And preferably the phone of course is blocked during that. You are living in the USA? Seems sending CDs per express air mail is much cheaper ..., even using Brazil as a relay ;) Are you sure, you did not miss to update your provider ten years back the first time? We have local traffic since years, leaving Germany in the north, coming in over there through Canada, crossing the whole States, and coming back from Florida to arrive a few miles away from me, just because of unused backbones. Also VOIP calls are quite fine these days, but local thunderstorms in between are still often a disaster for hours in summer. Taking the smileys out now, in fact distributions have Gigas of updates within a few weeks these days. Andy for sure has an argument.
