If your capacity and network design allow for it, offer them a 100 Mbps
dedicated, 5-nines SLA business class connection. That's easily worth 700/mo.
Small municipalities use a surprisingly tiny amount of traffic, in a highly
cyclic sine wave day and night pattern. I would be surprised if their 95th
percentile average over a month is more than 10 or 15 meg per second.
