It's $1500 / mo in KY for PRI. That's actually 'Pathlink Lite', which is
Bell's version of data-only/incoming-only PRI. If you call and order
full blown PRI you'll pay about $2000 / mo.

Trunkside channelized T1 (Megalink Channel Service) is about the same
price. I will admit that line side has come down significantly
recently...
