The driving distance is 4 miles, we are leasing it from CenturyLink whose headend maybe adds a mile or less, it's on the route and about half way through. I made it 6 miles to be safe. We currently can pull a full 1.5Mbps off of that T1 we run there so perhaps CenturyLink is repeating at their CO and/or along the route?
