Whether I do backups or large data transfers will really depend on what
bandwidth I end up with.  I would prefer the answer to be yes, but my =
budget
is limited.  I'm looking for something under $800/month leased or $8500
complete.

I was given an informal estimate of $400/month for 3Mbps.  This would be
provided as a service with a one time installation fee.  I could easily =
work
with that if necessary, but I would prefer to have something faster (45 =
or
100Mbps perhaps?).  And of course, even 10Mbps would be a big =
improvement.
At those speeds I could forego replicating some data between the sites.
It's difficult to find any pricing information online, so I'm not sure =
if
these speeds are totally out of the question at my budget, or if it's
attainable.
