Speaking from experience with Southwestern Hell, they'd probably drag
a 25-pair out to your place and charge you more than a year's rent in
build-out and local loop fees.  And then, then you moved, and wanted
your PTP T1 relocated, they'd move the 25-pair and stick it to you
again.

And, mind you, this was IN TOWN, practically pissing distance from the
switch.
