The difference is that this is not a tangible object that they are
giving you, they are artificially creating a monetary toll booth so to
speak.
They're already being paid for those circuits, this is just a way to
wring more money out of them.
It's equiv to you paying for a T1 (1.54mbs), putting a webserver on
it, then because it's a webserver you need to pay xyz provider more
money to get 1.54 mbs out of it for "premier" service.
It's not exactly how they're pitching it... they're gearing more
towards 2nd tier.
