Another to look into is Telseon (we just used them and
they are great.)
I would approach him him possible solution:
T1
T3
OC-3
And solutions from the fiber types (as stated before)
Then let him decide what he can afford.
Make sure to put ht eassociated hardware costs on
paper for him too.
For the T3 you'll need something that can support a
HSSI or DS-3 port (I think the 3600 series supports
the HSSI and OC-3, then 7500 is the first place I can
remember for the DS-3 w/DSU integrated, others you'll
need an external CSU/DSU)
