If the circuit resides within the same central office, Verizon's rates for OPX circuits are very reasonable in these parts (just a loop charge for each address). If it spans between COs or God forbid, between LATAs, then they become difficult, if not impossible to obtain. THAT is when the price gets crazy.

Verizon will also lease dry pairs here in Northern VA, but only in 25 pair binders. They won't do singles anymore.

Call the business office and request an OL13C, not an OPX. If you order it by the USOC number, you'll stand a better chance of getting a correct answer.
