If you can find a vendor that supports it, your best bet would be MPLS.
It is A LOT cheaper than dedicated lines. It is better than just using
the Internet because you get QoS/CoS capabilities.

Most vendors actually run their MPLS networks over their Internet backbones.
Some will try to convince you that MPLS is secure, but it is NOT! What I
do with clients is run IPSec over MPLS. It gets you the current best of
all worlds: low cost, high performance, and reasonable security.
