snowfly: I'll see if Xnet can do anything about getting Chorus to look, I don't mind paying for Chorus.
My recommendation would be to also look at what WISPs you have in the area and services off those and get some prices for what it will cost to get a service that meets your needs installed v's the cost of the Chorus network based service.
Depending on where you are, you may find you can get better value from another provider. You may also find it very helpful with negotiating what your existing providers feel is reasonable to charge you to upgrade your services with them.
Some of the threads here in recent months leave me with the impression that for many folk to get decent speeds there is going to have to be quite a bit of work done on the network edge. They've pushed the cabinets into the streets, which is great news, but now they'll need to follow that up with good information systems so people can figure out if they can get a better service and what it's going to cost.
I get the impression that we're still very much in the early days for those issues being worked out, but given that UFB is doing to be pushing in fast, the issues need to be sorted quickly.
