Thanks for the input everyone :)
@Mikael, Roderick,
Unlike HFT and financial markets, the applications we have to support are
not microsecond-sensitive. Infact, a +-10ms difference from 'least
possible' is acceptable provided that the connection is stable.
So basically I am looking for most cost-effective ways to achieve that
using existing products/services.
@Ryan,
I'll get in touch with AT&T guys. Thanks!
