Re: [asterisk-biz] North America Internet bandwidth

I also know that if you purchase circuits in China you have this same type pricing model... A local cheaper circuit (aka behind the Chinese firewall) is much faster domestically (in China) but an international one (a private circuit to Hong Kong where you pick up internet access/ therefore bypassing the great fw) is MUCH MUCH more expensive (around $5K/mo per meg)...

So Jack if you are buying a circuit in the US and/or Canada then whatever you look at will be an international circuit.

The question was about North America.  My answer was implicitly scoped
to North America.  I should have been clearer about that.

Other countries - particularly smaller and topographically isolated ones
such as NZ - have a myriad of other arrangements.
