TELECOM BITS There are some businesses that will do just find with the 1.54 mbps or throughput that it provides, but others have grown out of them and can either bond T1 lines or get metro ethernet if available. A good point to consider is to find a solution that will be with you for at least a few years. One T1 leased line for a month can cost you anywhere from a minimum of $300. Our pricing and services includes port, Internet access with a full SLA Nationwide Tier One Provider. The many possibilities a gigabit Ethernet LAN offers to customers adds many different ways for companies to expand the productivity and efficiency of their production. An Optical Carrier 24 Circuit or OC-24 line transmits data speeds of 1,244.16 Mbps (Mbps). IP and colocation services are available in the United States, EU as well as Internationally. Optical Carrier 768 or OC-768 Lines/ (Synchronous Transport Module) STM-256x transmits rates of data at a speed of 39,813.12 Megabits per second (Mbps). SDSL uses the same copper wires that are normally used for making voice telephone calls. An E1 is used instead of T1 Lines outside of North America and Japan. To help ensure that your mission-critical data arrives quickly and accurately, our NEC phone dealers selling office telephone systems and PBX phone system hardware and service programs via our VAR Network. Internet over Ethernet pricing options are usually flexible in that only the bandwidth your business consistently uses is billed on a flat rate, while much more bandwidth is available on the Ethernet.
