Hi,
Yes the easier way to do it is have your subnet routed to someone
that is willing to colo your router, or provide your with something like
NHRP, and use a 87x on your brand new unnamed Cable/DSL provider to
create a NHRP tunnel for it.
We have many customers which required that kind of tunnel to bypass
some belligerent TelCo.
But if you're going to drop your T1 for Cable/DSL get 2 of them
using different technology and from different provider (aka 1 Cable and
1 DSL =D).
Have fun.
