[olug] Help! Need some T1/DS1 info...

[Jeff Hinrichs]

Long story short, we've got a (phone company name removed) rep promising
big voice savings if we commit to a 3 year data contract.  Their pricing
for DS-1 Internet(Tier 2) with a full Class C block is 887.50/month.
That seems really high to me, especially since our current data
provider(Tier 1), has pitched 675/month.  

What kinds of numbers are any of you paying for similar services?  I am
happy to take this off the mailing list if names and numbers make being
posted to the newsgroup makes anyone uncomfortable.  They are squeezing
and my gut says stay away, this move would be to save money only, we are
completely happy about our QOS and support from the current provider,
but I'd be happier with feedback from others.
