That is also a very expensive way to go (if not just as expensive),  
and a lot of it depends on where your office is in the Middle East (to  
determine which carrier you will need to pay AT&T to buy their last  
few miles of transit through).

I'm still not convinced that you need it - a 5 MB connection at each  
end with a VPN between the two and some sane QoS at each edge device  
ought to be more than enough.  I deliver thousands of simultaneous  
calls from the Middle East through 3 GB connections to 3 different  
ISPs at my colo in San Francisco.  No special agreements with anyone,  
the other sides of the calls originating from internet connections  
owned by our customers.  No real problems.

So before signing any contracts, I would simply give it a shot right  
over the Internet.  You'll likely be pleased with the results.
