Yep, I think you have all my options about right. &nbsp;I have been doing exactly what you said and getting together a spread sheet with options and costs. &nbsp;Although, I still haven't heard back from the DirecPc guy, nor has AT&amp;T gotten me any information on T1s...must be nice to have so many customers you don't actually have to provide customer service.<br />
<br />
(wince)Did I say 10GB?!? &nbsp;I meant 10MB, a big difference, eh? &nbsp;Sorry 'bout that. &nbsp;Generally these files will be customer databases that need tweeking or converting or whatever. &nbsp;Mostly though he is uploading and downloading much smaller files. &nbsp;I feel like he could get away with a much slower connection, but as I said, the sales manager wants him connected to our server as fast as someone in the local office. &nbsp;Can you say 100Mbps? &nbsp;Yikes. &nbsp;I think once I get this spreadsheet of costs done, he will change his mind on that. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Thanks again for all your help, and once the decision gets made I will post again and let you guys know what we went with.<br />
