T1 pricing here in this area, Central Ohio, is just under $800.00 for one point of the route with AT&T including internet access. The VPN and equipment is your own doing once it gets to their demarc, at least that's my take on dealing with them. The thing with being between cities, however.... I was a network install manager for Qwest in a former life...... The cost to the provider varies depending on the path they are forced to take due to the available facilities you route through. That's cost, not the price charged to the customer. A route that is entirely upper east coast will drive you nuts in cost and facilities because it's saturated but if you route to the Midwest it's cheap. You can easily have one end that is crazy expensive and another end that is dirt cheap, the price the salesperson will charge will be depending on the estimated total cost of the 2 points. AND, more time than not, the provider has to lease facilities from another company to make the path. Lots and lots and lots of variables.
