At least Rossman would put how much he paid and makes us awe in his money saving skills.

Hmmmm....not likely. We have an OC-3 (155Mbps) with a T-3 (43Mbps) as a redundant circuit with a 1Gig Fiber backbone between every site on our MAN (400+ sites total). Now you may trump me, but you can't say I don't compete damnit! 😉
I manage 375 1Gb fiber connected switches and approximately 15 fully meshed routers. We have several sites with DSL (because they're cheap asses) that we manage too.

WOW, that's a lot of intra-company bandwidth.
For just loops and transit, we have 4xOC48s through ICG, 2xOC48s and 2xOC3s through Qwest and 2xOC3s through XSpedius (another CLEC). We're not even close to utilizing all that, though.
For our own ONSDirect? bandwidth (does not include carrier->customer direct purchases), we run 2xOC3s and 3xDS3s, all to separate providers.
edit: we provide most of the bandwidth to the sbusinesses in our building (12 story telco hotel), as well to several local ISPs ... and to a ton of colos.
A bunch of our bigger customers buy bandwidth directly from carriers ... I think we're at something like 8xOC3s, 20+ DS3s and more T1s than I can count, although several of the ds3s are for DSL & T1 muxing.
Anyways, your MAN is sick 🙂
I didn't build it, but if I ever have to build one, I know how it's going to be done. Our core is so meshed that it looks like a spider web when it's put into Visio. It's crazy really, overkill to the extreme. We're working on VLANing everything now, so we have a big task ahead of us.
BTW, we've got more dark fiber than we know what to do with. Every single site (400+) has at least 12 pair of fiber run to it.
You may bust my chops on total carrier circuits, but I have one hell of a MAN going on. 😉😀

Honestly, I'd much rather run a carrier setup than a wild MAN network with a bazillion crisscrossing and meshed links. With carrier stuff, everything is pretty straightforward; with large internal nets, management becomes a nightmare++. I don't envy you in the slightest -- we just completed a total overhaul of our VLANs (customer segmentation, mostly), and it was a real PITA; I can't imagine doing it for a huge, huge internal network with a million different requirements for every link.
