"Sprintlink is $2700 a month for a T1.
"
"And $1k/month for a 56kbps.

"The only way to get below that is to go with a LONG TERM commitment, and if
"you quit on them part way through you end up paying *big time* for the
"cancellation.  This is true of all discounts; you give something up for
"that, and its usually the right to leave.
"
"Go ahead and sign a 3 or 5-year deal, but be aware of the commitment you 
"make by doing so.
"
"Look at all the numbers, and all the facts.  Then decide.  Net99 is the 
""no smoke and mirrors; just good service at a reasonable price" company.
"
"$2k/month for a T1 with no resale bull, no tricks (like a frame relay
"connection with a 56kbps CIR) and no hassles is a damn good price.  In
"cities Net99 serves we generally can turn up a line as fast as you can get
"a circuit provisioned to one of our POPs.
"


Rabbit Network offers T1 connectivity for $995, no bull, no tricks and
no prepayment (with credit approval). $1100 setup fee rather than 2 or
3k. (Note: Costs do not include the telco circuit, but then neither 
does NET99's $2k).

We can get a T1 in to you OPERATIONAL in as little as EIGHT DAYS - 
THATS 8 CALENDAR DAYS, FOLKS! Karl's three days were probably within
the same city.

If you are in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana or Wisconsin, RabbitNet can
handle your dedicated circuit access to the Internet.  

Oh, and by the way, we also allow reselling at no additional costs!
(With dedicated access, not with dial-up SLIP or UUCP).

P.S. - we won't force you to join any trade organization attempting
to extort money from you by threatening network connectivity unless
you pay them $10k a year.  ;->
