Thanks for the input everyone :) @Mikael, Roderick,
Unlike HFT and financial markets, the applications we have to support are not microsecond-sensitive. Infact, a +-10ms difference from 'least possible' is acceptable provided that the connection is stable. So basically I am looking for most cost-effective ways to achieve that using existing products/services. @Ryan, I'll get in touch with AT&T guys. Thanks!
