I haven't done it -- yet.  I'm involved with a cohousing group that is
just forming in Austin, TX and I'm looking at starting with a burstable T1
and moving up from there.  Currently, I've got an ISDN connection to my
house and I tend to saturate it all too often.  Also, one of my goals is
to help provide an environment where various type of entreprenurial
arrangement can happen easily.
