I don't think you need a T1. There are some other options, such as Pro DSL. Pro DSL can give speeds up to 7megs up and down. That's allot faster than a T1. A more affordable and reasonable speed for a site like CEG would be their 1 meg up and down service. It is about $233 a month. This includes one static ip. Annually that comes to $2,796. If you already have the computer then you just need a pipe.
This may be a solution.
