Tariffs are meant to be undercut. I am not sure about Ameritech and if
you have any CLEC's in the area, but I have PRI's with BellSouth and do not
pay tariff pricing but on 3 that I signed long term agreements on. In
addition with CLEC's I typically get 30% off and within 3 months I will be
getting even higher discounts. For example in Alabama the tariff is around
1200 per PRI I have some that I pay as little as 400 per month on, the
majority are around 800-900.
