A Dedicated T1 circuit is made up of 24 8-bit channels with each channel having 64 Kbps. Voice data and video services are rendered in the same way the larger company offers with a lower overhead to keep costs down. An E3 connection enables companies to give fast and efficient connections to every computer hooked up to the network. No matter what ISP you use, cable and DSL will lose their lightening fast speed during peak times. As a basic rule of economics, the higher the available speed, the higher the price. Once one T1 lines is in use, it is easier and more cost effective to add additional T1 lines as the need increases.

The availability of fiber optics is almost always an issue and DSL does not deliver on its promise of speed or reliability. In the late 1990s it was discovered that the real cost of building the fiber optics network was the installation of the cable and not the cable itself. Currently, the price is 200 dollars per mile due to the excess dark fiber available. If you have a T1 you will be paying quite a bit more than you did for your DSL connection. This is due to the structure of T1 pricing but the SLA will be better. We have T1 Lines in Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado and Connecticut Bandwidth Connections. Internet over OC3 pricing is usually based on payment for committed bandwidth on a monthly recurring basis with usage above the bandwidth commitment with bandwidth usage billed on a per Mbps basis that is measured by a 95th percentile of bandwidth utilization calculation.
