I'm lucky, I guess. My second phone line is paid by my employer. And since I'm a Sam's Club member, I get Earthlink for $19.95/mo. I usually manage to get 42k connections .... but most servers are so slow that it really doesn't matter all that much.
I've changed my viewing habits to avoid long downloads ... if someone has a huge picture ... well, I'll either view it from the office or ignore it ... not enough patience to wait for a long download. When I'm uploading, well, I remember how few people have major bandwidth ... and that I'm not in a biggest-picture-of the-year contest and limit the size.
Never have to fight for the line ... if the wife wants to use one of her computers fo remail (never hads yet ... waits for me to print it off for her) ... she can use the main line ... I only have the second line run to my computer room.
works for me .... YMMV
