The right point is 400-450$/mo. anything above 500 is a ripoff.

200$/mo is just the transport.

probably. try these, they all gave me quotes in low 400-ish.
Focal Communications
Adelphia Communications
Allegiance
Qwest (my LD with them is ~1.5-3c/minute depending on LATA and OCN)

Proper price on 800 usage is 4-5c/minute, anything above that is ripoff.
