Understand. What we were proposing was a T3 here for a "local loop" and then
T1's into that. All locations are in the same state.

Thanks,

Chuck

P2P are great because you have full control over both ends.  BUT they
are very EXPENSIVE.  I would go with fractional T3 at corp. with full
T1's at each location.  Else you need to support 1 T1 for each location
that that means several small routers or one big expensive router to
handle all the T1 ports.

Yep and we are looking at moving them all to T1's. Being pushed in the
MPLS
way but really thinking P2P T1's are the best way to go.

him double check it. Thanks for validating what we have been thinking,
i.e.
sure we are probably overloaded but it should be hitting others.

Thanks again,
