Our ISP's high performance IP transit is architected for Internet content applications requiring the highest level of performance and resiliency. Destination websites can use our Content Delivery Network or CDN solution to cache files, deliver quicker audio, video, and reduce hardware costs. We offer solutions and solve problems for data T1 Bandwidth or Voice (DS1) lines (1.5 mbps bi-directional transfer, upload and download, rate), fractional T1 (DS1) circuits (256 kbps to 1024 kbps). You can solve your network problem by upgrading to Gigabit Ethernet, your backups will complete in record time and everything on your network will run more efficiently.

The Synchronous Transport Module or STM-1 is the SDH ITU-T fiber optic network transmission standard which has a bit rate of 155.52 Mbps and other levels of the Synchronous Transport Module are STM 4, STM 16 and STM 64 accordingly. Unlike DSL and cable modem technology, satellite broadband service is available anywhere in the U.S. with a clear view of the Southern horizon. The term Analog is a continuously varying signal or wave and like all waves, they are susceptible to interference which can change the integrity of the wave.

Please understand that pricing is based on service address and phone number, so please use real information to get accurate results. As a business grows it is less costly and easier to add additional T1 lines than it would be to completely upgrade to a T3 line. Why buy from directly from the carrier when you can get the same service at a fraction of the cost? Covad Wireless is scalable for your Internet needs, they have from 768 Kbps up to 6 Mbps which is the speed of 4 bonded T1's or a fractional DS3 and contracts as short as 6 months. The choice of a telecommunications solution best suited for you does not have to be difficult and if you just work with these selection measures, you will make the ideal purchase. Another advantage of a T1 line is that is much more reliable and comes with a SLA as well a guaranteed uptime.
