Doing so may not save you very much. You'd have to not only move next to the CO, but next to the POP for your local Internet carrier. The leased lines used by the TCP/IP vendors are charged on a termination plus milage basis from the POP to your site. Generally there is only one POP for the TCP/IP network in your area. And the termination charges far outweigh the milage charge. You won't save much... Sydney S. Weinstein, CDP, CCP Elm Coordinator Datacomp Systems, Inc.
