Well unless you are talking to TIER 1 Carriers (AT&T, Verizon, Level3, 
MCI) you are talking to middle men, who may promise 1/1 but would give 
a real hard time on ASRs.

Also as you may see, its all mathematics 30/6 and they can route you 
through different carriers (mebbe sometimes even on premium routes, coz 
their math allow them to do so.)

Again, the good ol saying is still true - "You get wat you pay for !!"
