I've corrected this before here, but so everyone has the exact details,
the real charge is ~$75/line/month.  Separate from the per line charge is
a per CO charge of ~$2K/month for an OC-1 to backhaul the data.  If you are
able to drum up say, 80 customers in one CO the total cost/line would be
$100/mth. (still more than sympatico is charging tough, even though bell
says everybody pays the same price)
