The ADSL listed here seems a little slow for more than a couple of 
users. There was a deal at connexus that allowed for multiple users and 
had more speed, but... it was a 3 or 5 gb cap (peak times only 300mb 
though), after that, 5c per mb, which doesn't seem outrageous to me. 
The pay per mb thing, can be cheaper and would stop one person from 
hogging all the bandwidth. Look at the whirlpool site for good ADSL 
deals.

I don't think the legailites of it all are that black and white 
(IANAL), until someone gets taken to court for we won't know. Where do 
you draw the line between an offive with 50 employees providing 
wireless access for everyone (including net access) and some guy 
sharing his connection with his neighbour on a shared cost basis. Thats 
not to say your not violating your AUP.
