Creative ways to upload large files?

I recently started working out of my home creating HD video content. My upload speed is a real pain. I know it's possible to ship hard drives to Amazon for about $80. Can anyone suggest some alternatives?

    I'm not sure where you live, but here in Los Angeles, there are areas of the city that have Verizon FiOS with upload speeds up to 25Mbps. A few years back a friend of mine found a guy on Craigslist in who offered to pay the entire FiOS bill every month in exchange for being able to drop off a portable hard drive once a week to upload. If there is FiOS nearby, you can probably find someone willing to go for a deal like that. It would be cheaper than paying Amazon (plus shipping costs).
