From: "Glenn Meadows" 

We've been quoted that price from XO Communications for a 2 year.
$500/month for a 1 year contract.

Since we're already an XO customer in Nashville, could be we're getting a
better price for additional service.

And they also include a Cisco 1710 router as the terminating end.  We just
put a firewall after the router, and we're good to go, same price for 16 or
32 ip addresses, too.  16 works just fine for us though.
