Absolutely right, I don't care what's in between as long as I have GigE at the end. Other options include using wave (too expensive), or ethernet over MPLS (worth considering although latency may be too high for longer that 1000 miles).
Why would latency be too high? Just talk to one of the carriers who do everything over MPLS, I'm sure they're more then interested in selling some kind of "VPN services" (well someone in the company is at any rate, most sales people would be flatly stumped and are more concerned with trying to keep their jobs than finding you cheap longhaul anyways). You might want to try isp-bandwidth, it's a list more suited for finding specific services you can buy and specific sales weenies who will try and sell it to you. I know I've seen the GigE long-haul transport subject come up a couple time there... -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras@e-gerbil.net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras PGP Key ID: 0x138EA177 (67 29 D7 BC E8 18 3E DA B2 46 B3 D8 14 36 FE B6)
