Actually, local loop usually exceeds router port.
If you're at one of the data centers where we have presence, I can sell =
you a dual-stack Gig for <$1/Mbps.
OTOH, getting a Gig-E to the datacenter from the hotel and then the =
additional cost of the XC are probably more than $1,000/month when =
combined. Possibly by some multiplier =E2=89=A52.
