RE: low-latency bandwidth for cheap?

(I think it may be a little off topic, but the internet connection is
usually part of network operations . . . )

There are some carrier grade fixed-point-wireless providers around that
can offer really low latency (depending on distance).  I'd offer you a
solution, but we're in Illinois.

There might be a pretty heavy front-end expense (usually around
$500-$1000) but it is usually worth it. For the service you get.

Subject: low-latency bandwidth for cheap?


This may be the wrong forum to ask this, and if so I apologize, please 
just point me in the right direction!

I'm getting somewhat frustrated with the instability and high latency 
of residential cable and DSL offerings, but I love the T1 or greater 
bandwidth they offer.  I'd like reasonable bandwidth with low latency 
without spending hundreds of dollars per month!

Anybody know a good source for near-T1 low-latency bandwidth at around 
$100/month?  I'm in the northern VA area btw.
