That is what we were using.

But the plans are either ripoffs, 100GB cap with 10c per MB over quota - which resulted in a $500 over charge and a cancellation right away - or the service is terrible when the university students get out of classes.

On our current plan during 3pm-1am we are lucky to get 50 _kilobytes_ per second. This is utterly unacceptable as that is when our clients in Europe need us to be responsive. Getting an email with attachments send is an uphill battle, forget video conferencing. We have to do ridiculous things like plan do major deployments on cloud servers between 2am and 10am because that is the only times we actually get broadband speeds. And we are stuck like this for another two weeks because of "problems with infrastructure".
