There's really only two ways to attack this that I can think of - you either need more bandwidth out of your SHDSL service using something like Ethernet over Copper type solutions (eg Hatteras), or really tune your G.711 codec to get the most out of an ATM delivered service (eg: turn your sample size up to 30ms and try and cram an extra channel or two in there!)  

I don't imagine EoC is going to keep you competitive unless you also use it to deliver network services, but with up to 5.7Mbps down a single pair, you may well be able to do this.

Good luck!
