ATM (STM1/OC3) is 155M Access and then you
buy PVC's (Virtual Circuits) over it.
The hardware is not cheap to terminate it, but
telecom offer other services to terminate pipes over 2M
Also depending on what you are going to use the ATM
for (its its only for a point-to-point connetion only
maybe other carriers (United Networks/Tangent/Wired
Counties etc )could do a much faster/cost effective
connection)

ok, sorry let me re-phrase
that, what link speed or bandwidth does your solution support?
We implemented an ATM (34M) connection to
Telecom and worked closely with all the local (NZ) vendors and it was not a
cheap solution

My solution suits local
conditions.
