Anybody know a good source for near-T1 low-latency bandwidth at around $100/month? I'm in the northern VA area btw.
How much is "low latency"? I have 6ms RTT over my 8M/800k ADSL, it's usually 6-8ms over an equivalent 2M g.shdsl line.
another datapoint: 768k SDSL. 10-11 msec RTT to my ISPs peering connections with other networks. end-to-end RTT of 14 ms, over twice the physical distance (a whopping 22 miles) compared to circa 9ms times to the same location(over 12 mi end-to-end) from a real T-1 local loop. Wire distance on the DSL is about 6k ft. The T-1 loop is less than 900 ft. Everything past that 'last mile' is T-3 or better. I can live with an added 5ms.
