Do a point to point connection to a tier-1 Internet provider and setup a VPN. If you use a good provider, your site to site traffic will never leave their network.

I have been approached by a company that provides ATM host to host or host to Internet access. They say ATM has no CIR and is cheaper as a result. We currently have 5 sites connecting back to our host site using frame relay (384 w 192CIR). From experience has anyone found ATM or Frame to be better then the other..if so why?
