I'm running right now on a 1000Base-LX/LH transport from a Cisco 12008 router to the ISP, where I've purchased X Mb/s of connectivity across their SONET backbone to their core, and through their core to their upstream(s). Up until April I had a T1 over fiber for backup and a protected OC-3; I cut my costs by a factor of ten going Metro-E, thanks to the tariff the OC-3 was under.

We have 75 strand-miles of fiber on-campus, some of which I'm lighting with 1550nm waves due to high attenuation (old fiber). And I'm using surplus CATV supertrunk equipment to do it; fun stuff to work with.
Fiber over here for the school, 50MB up/down at around 650USD/mnth with
a /28 subnet. Probably also the only fiber customer way up this hill the
school is situated on but we have nothing laid out in the contract
regarding actual bandwidth overseas. Not that a primary/grade school
needs anything substantial...
