Hello!

I have some AT&T MPLS sites under a managed contract with latency
averaging 75-85 ms without any load.  These sites are only 45 minutes
away.  What is considered normal/acceptable?

MPLS as a technology should not add any significant delay as it is just a few bytes of label on the packet.

What is the physical path of the circuits involved?  Have you asked for the design of them?
