Technology aside (I would definitely prefer MPLS, simply because it
may allow me to do more with VoIP quality, than unmanaged site-to-
site VPNs), I have not been able to find MPLS providers with lesser
costs than dedicated lines, for equivalent port speed. I have looked
at MCI, SBC and Sprint, so far ... whom did you find more attractive
than T1 providers?

I’m looking at connecting 15+ multi-state locations together to
start forming a private corporate network. The sites are small
with 25-30 devices. I want to avoid direct-T1’s due to cost,
therefore I’m looking for alternatives. I know I can do site-to-
site VPN, but I’ve also heard a lot about MPLS and from what I’ve
read, it may be a good option. Over the next year, we will be
adding 5-10 more sites, so expansion is important. I’m not
planning to do voice, but it may be an option in 2-3 years. If
anyone has any suggestions on their experiences, I would greatly
appreciate it.
Thanks,
Todd
