Hmm, interesting. According to folks here, there's no difference in price as far as tariff is concerned.. Different USOC codes, though. As far as I know, nobody here makes a difference in port cost for DS1 based on channel config, in fact, you'd probably get a 'are you sure you want that?!' from whoever is selling the service to you if it is for an Internet service. Weird.
