Dedicated T1 And DSL
DSL is for Individuals. Dedicated T1 Connection is for Business.
Some people who got really impatient about connecting through a dial-up phone access have shifted a DSL connection. This suits them just fine. But for big or growing business organizations, they would have to check if their DSL subscriptions still suit their needs. It may be time to get a dedicated T1 connection.
If your business is still stuck with the old dial-up, you should be thinking about where you want the business to be soon, so you can move forward accordingly, and fast. For businesses that have gained the momentum already, part of their preparations should be a much-needed shift to dedicated T1 leased lines.
Reliability is important in all business organizations. If the people in the company cannot rely on their Internet access, there may be a lot of unnecessary delays that will affect productivity. If the organization has branches scattered in several locations, it may be a wise move to drop the DSL subscription and go for the dedicated T1 line instead, which can also carry voice applications clearly.
As for individuals, a DSL may be sufficient enough. A dedicated T1 line at home might be too much for simple, individual usage. What’s more, a dedicated T1 line will really cost an arm and a leg. The good thing about a DSL access is that when there is no oversubscription within your area, you will be able to enjoy speed that is at par with a dedicated T1 line.
Businesses need a dedicated T1 line and they can afford it. An individual, on the other hand already has a great deal with his current DSL.
