Tony,
When I was selling this for Verizon, it was so expensive only businesses
(and of course your government) could afford it. It's basically a 1,000Mb
(Gig-E) Ethernet handoff from the carrier. You actually would have to buy a
second circuit to connect to your ISP like this:
You <---------->Verizon<---------->ISP
Gig-E Gig-E
If Vz is your ISP they'll cut you a deal on the bundle, but you're still
talking about thousands per month. But it's really screaming fast! It's
biggest advantage is ease of customer installation and maintenance. You may
not have ATM or POS interface cards in your router but you've surely got a
10/100/1000 port on something.
And if you are an e-business or Fairfax County Schools, where most of your
curriculum is web-based or has a high web content (their ISP link was
running over 500Mb during school hours last year), your only real solution
is Gig-E.
