T1 versus DSL
At what situation must you optimize Internet service performance to a more rapid and even more trustworthy T1 line? When looking at possibly replacing your current DSL connection, it is important to consider a number of different issues. Financial damage occurring during the event of connectivity loss and dependability are the largest aspects to be considered in the case of both large and small business operations. High-speed Internet is important for a large number of firms to earn business via e-mail, video chatting, and voice-over-Internet telephone applications. Should an outage arise, your enterprise could be impacted at all stages.
Normally, a T1 line will deliver a reliable bi-directional speed of 1.5 Mbps. Then again, the speed with which a DSL line is able to operate is fully dependent on the mileage from the DSLAM, which is the physical equipment device located in your neighborhood by the local phone company. DSL's maximum reach is 18,000 feet. Anything over that, the copper line's power is too low to reliably send data.
Customer support is another aspect that is different when comparing a T1 and DSL line. You will find there is a technical support department assisting with a T1 line. This trained team assures a 99.99% uptime, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, because the service is tested constantly. At the first sign of an outage, the technicians immediately start to work to determine the reason behind the issue and fix it. On the other hand, DSL service demands that you act by calling customer service and then waiting on hold until a customer support agent is available to take your call and help you.
Cost is the last difference between a T1 and DSL line. Depending on the type of plan you possess, the cost of DSL service can be between $19 and $79 a month. As recently as five years ago a T1 line rate was an average of around $1,000 monthly fee. This was past the budgets of numerous businesses. Since then the price of a T1 connection now ranges from the high $300's to the low $700's per month, making it an option that small businesses and even independent professionals are more likely to consider. A T1 line is more expensive than DSL, but what is the real expense to your business in case your Internet connection crashes? If your business definitely demands that your personnel, phone calls, and electronic mail are always up, it is necessary that you replace DSL and hold a reliable T1 line.
