[c-nsp] DS3 Nubie

[Jeff Wojciechowski]

Justin-

Our carriers managed Ethernet has a max of 6 T1s feeding it (for our location) so that limits us to less than 10Mbps so I think fractional DS3 will be our best bet.

Especially when upgrading from a 4 T bundle to a 10Mbps burstable to 45Mbps DS3 is only ~40% more per month....

Thanks,

-Jeff

Depending on your location and connectivity needs, you might want to check into the availability of an Ethernet service.  There is a good chance your cost per megabit will be somewhat lower, and you won't need to purchase
DS3 interface cards, etc.
