If the circuits between you and the customer follow roughly the same path 
across the carrier(s) network(s), the delay variance (jitter) between 
packets sent across each circuit should be low.  If the customer ever 
decides to add another cricuit to handle additional traffic, that could 
change the performance characteristics depending on how the circuit is 
engineered.
