TELECOM BITS You are literally seconds away from finding the best T1 Service Provider or related Telecom need in your area. Businesses choose a bonded T1 over a DSL line when connectivity is of necessary for business continuity. If you are experiencing the following problems such as bandwidth filter, bandwidth issues, bandwidth latency, bandwidth limit, bandwidth limit exceeded, bandwidth limiter, bandwidth limiting or bandwidth limits, then give us a call. We can focus on larger, multi-location opportunities through a consultative process to ensure your networks operate with reliability, efficiency and cost effectiveness.

A revolutionary Carrier Ethernet Network Availability SLA (service Level Agreement) assists you by assuring that best effort practices are being implemented to strengthen performance and increase efficiency. In some cases, DSL coverage can be extended to 20,000 feet or more, although at slower speeds. We have many relationships with several providers, our mission is to find the most cost effective telecom service solution for your need. Providers include Extreme Networks, Foundry Networks, Emulex, Juniper Networks, Linksys, Netopia, Redback Networks, Qlogic, Motorola, and SBS Technologies.

As we move forward through time and space, our goal is to continually improve our solutions, our products and services, our site, our collective knowledge of the industry as a whole, and most importantly, to build a bond with you, our client and customer. SDSL's flexibility can rival that of more expensive T1 service, at a fraction of the cost. The local T1 loop is provided by the local telephone company because they are the company that installed the wire that is connected to the site or DMARC into the ground. There are different physical layers of this Gigabit Ethernet, which go from copper cable, to optical fiber, and twisted cable. A Fractional T1 line is a portion of a 24 channel circuit providing an internet connection straight from the broadband provider backbone. Depending on your location and T1 provider availability, a fractional T1 will normally be priced between $250.00 and $750.00. A T1 is more expensive than a DSL connection but is much more reliable. Telephone providers are avidly trying to lower the price of the cables, they are even offering lease agreements so you can pay a little bit less every month to use this special cable. The full set of 24 DS0's or channels have the same speed as a full T1 Line, however, the individual DS0 channels may be split into voice lines or data lines using an equipment device called a CSU/DSU or Channel Service Unit/Data Service Unit. A T1 and T1 PRI lines are still your best choices for standard switched circuit PBX business telephone systems. Service providers should be able to calculate ROI for you, if they say that they are unable to then choose a different partner. Many businesses worry about terms of service and reliability when in fact they would be receiving the exact same reliability as they do with the original company. Regardless of traffic, DSL sometimes will deliver a lot better than cable.

Convergence is known as combining or converging voice, data and video onto a single telco network. Coming in around the same price range as the DSL and cable providers, fiber optics can be a great choice for those who have the option.
