Quoting the article:

"I then ordered two circuits. One to my house and one to our local
hospital (they are stuck paying $1000.00 per month for a 348k
connection that they need for video medicine and as a local tax payer
who voted for the M & O levy.....). I ordered 1 pair of dry,
unloaded, unconditioned, copper pair from my office to each location.
(About $20.00 per month.)"

I was under the impression that an analog circuit cost a lot more to
rent here?
