T1 Internet Access for Dummies
The T1 Internet Service has long been around for more than 40 years but never have there been so many "flavors" offered. The number of providers has leaped amazingly since deregulation in 1996 from a few dozen to several thousand. As the telecom shakedown that started in 2001 continues many of these companies are attempting to stay afloat by capturing as many clients as attainable with cheap solutions they claim to be T1. Don't be fooled!
Many of the desperate businesses are putting together substandard products they claim are T1 solutions. Be leery of products using the weird titles similar to "burstable" and "reach". These items can be oversubscribed very similar to a DSL product. This means the provider places a single T1 connection within a CO (Central Office) and gives T1 hook ups to three or 4 customers hoping they don't all make use of the resource simultaneously. T1 access means dedicated usage of the Internet and you invariably have access to 1.54Mbps.
Be certain your T1 product in Jefferson is a "clearchannel" item and is not shared with different clients. Also be certain you have an SLA or Service Level Agreement from your provider. A SLA will define the access you can get and the expense the service company pays in the event that they do not supply such service. If you need help, establishing the appropriate SLA gives you the help of an expert in case you don't have one in house. It's much better to spend a tiny fee up front than to enter a long term contract with an inferior carrier. You can also get expert assistance free of charge by simply contacting among the many T1 brokers on the web.
