Lightpoint communications suffers from much fade and are very costly. Contemplating our already deployed local loops and infrastructure/built out zones/ect it is not feasable to incure the cost for what the customer is willing to pay. Yes all our local loops backhaul with highspeed microwave to fiber. Being national this deal was a vpn with little latency and thats what appealed to the client+speedvsprice. 2 local loop charges, 1 ATM charge, 1 gateway charge. He will be paying more for the DSL, get less speed and incure multiple hops due to a stubborn landlord. cest la vie~ Nathanc
