Teksavvy have been offering MLPPP as an addon service for a while; it allows their subscribers to evade Bell's throttling. There's even a fork of the Tomato firmware dedicated for this. And a friend told me that one of their customer service reps said you can work around Rogers' throttling using this modem. Just opt for ISPs that aren't Bell or Rogers.

It depends on what you expect to do in your living room. I have a really old Mini hooked up to a TV which is on pretty much all the time. Besides playing movies and streaming videos it runs Transmission, OpenVPN, shares files using NFS, and hosts some unimportant personal web apps. All that with it taking up hardly any space and not generating noticeable heat or noise - seems like a pretty good deal for $700.

You don't have to pay for their geniuses to upgrade your hardware if your warranty is up. Buy the ram, hard drive, or optical drive from wherever and do it yourself. I had to do a ram and hard drive upgrade, took about an hour to finish. And I'm pretty sure the standard warranty they provide you lasts for one year, not one month.
