You can get 512/512 ADSL today - just ask your ISP. It means much
higher costs than 1500/256, but you do get double the outbound speed,
and it's cheaper than hosting/colocation.
Of course, there's always the option of hosting through somewhere in
the USA like Rackspace - they're very cheap and you get a boatload of
bandwidth for very little expense.
