Re: There is another option....
said by burgermeister  :You pay for distance with the T1. That depends on the carrier, and the type of T1, Some are loop/mileage based, some are not. Covad does not base price on the loop distance. If you are wired to a CO Covad is in, you can get a T1 for the advertised flat rate, no matter if you are 1 mile, or 10 miles from the CO.
And most providers who do charge based on distance, is based on the distance to the PoP, not the CO. I have quoted T1's with 200+ mile loops before.

| I don't know -- all I know is the quote was from Covad.
It was for service in the Imlay city area. I don't know if the fact that it's Verizon up there matters?
All I can tell you is that is was WAY more than the price on the site.

| Covad isn't in Imlay City, so they must have quoted you a T1 from one of thier partners. so it wasn't out of a Covad CO

| Could be. All I know is the low price wasn't so low! 
I don't care how ya get me the packets, just get me the packets!  I'll try to dig up the quote and see what it says. It's been a while.
