Re: T1 short-haul vs. long-haul

["Wayne E. Bouchard" <web () typo org>]

Another drawback is that, by their nature, ADSL circuits have a higher
latency than standard T1 service. So if this is something thats really
important, a "propper" T1 might be a better option.

Then there's that little problem of maintaining routing over 8
parallel links, etc.
