T1 Internet Access for Dummies
This particular T1 Internet Service has been available for more than 4 decades but in no way have there been so many "flavors" available. The number of vendors has jumped since deregulation in 1996 from a couple dozen to several thousand. As the telecom shakeout that began in 2001 continues many of these companies are trying to stay afloat by capturing as many clients as attainable with cheap solutions they assert being T1. Do not be fooled!
Many of the desperate companies are putting together substandard solutions they claim are really T1 products. Be leery of products using the funny titles similar to "burstable" and "reach". These products are oversubscribed very similar to a DSL product. This means the provider puts a single T1 connection in a CO (Central Office) and gives T1 connections to three or 4 customers hoping they don't all use the resource simultaneously. T1 access means sole usage of the Internet and you always have access to 1.54Mbps.
Make sure your T1 service for West Hollywood is a "clearchannel" item and is not shared with different users. Also be certain you have a powerful SLA or Service Level Agreement from your provider. A SLA will specify the access you can get and the penalty the service supplier will pay in the event that they do not supply such service. If you need assistance, establishing the appropriate SLA gives you the help of an expert if you don't have one already. It's much better to pay a small price up front versus to enter a long term agreement with an substandard provider. You can also get expert help free of charge by simply contacting one of the many T1 brokers on the web.
