Andre:
If your distance for the short-haul is less than 10 miles or so (line-of-sight), I would go wireless. Reasons:
a) you can get 10-30MBps on wireless vs. 1.4Mbps for T1.
b) if you already have an antenna or other high-point, you can own the wireless network for about what the Telco would charge for a T-1 over about a year.
If you really want a wire circuit, for long-haul or short-haul, consider multiple xDSL connections. For example, under the current pricing we are seeing, we can install 8 ADSL circuits for about what one T-1 would cost. With 8 ADSLs, you would be getting >10 Mbps inbound and 2.8Mbps outbound -- equivalent to 8 inbound T-1s and 2 outbound T-1s for the same price as a single T-1.
Just some thoughts.
