Legacy loops (DS3/OC3) are some of the most expensive local loop transport circuits. There is no single way to find an alternate / less expensive local loop transport.
The amount of options greatly varies on exactly where you are. It could be an alternate CLEC, Local Cable Company, Fiber Division of local Power Company, etc. If you send me (off list) the address of where you are, I may be able to suggest some alternate's.
