Business T1 Dedicated Internet Access

T1: The Advantages of a Dedicated Internet Access for a Business

A typical company easily spends around $750 monthly to continuously utilize 8 phone lines in the office for business purposes. If this same company also maintains a DSL Internet connection or it still uses dial-up to connect, it will be more practical to convert these systems to a single T1 line for voice applications and dedicated Internet business.

Here are some of the advantages of going for a dedicated Internet access and voice over a T1 leased line:

• Everyone in the organization can enjoy the WAN (Wide Area Network) speed of 1.5 Mbps up and down at any given time.
• A T1 dedicated Internet access is faster and definitely more reliable than any analog or standard dial-up access
• Looking at the bottom line, a full T1 subscription is more cost-effective than using separate phone lines and DSL or Frame Relay.
• There is a significant increase in profits since there are lower expenses on telecommunications while having increased productivity.
• Employees are able to easily communicate with each other in the organization even if they are geographically separated.
• Customers can easily connect to the company for any business transaction.
• There is no waiting for connection to start up since the dedicated Internet service is always on.
• The business expands since there is a higher potential of making it big online through the dedicated Internet access provided by the T1 line.

More and more business organizations are leasing their full T1 lines for their voice application requirements and dedicated Internet access needs.

Business T1

Business T1 lines are much better than DSL

A growing company that is still using DSL to connect to the Internet should start considering using faster business T1 lines instead. The DSL may look more affordable, but if you look closely, you will be better off with the T1 installation in the long run.

A business T1 line can be made of fiber optic wires or copper wires. This high-speed Internet connection can transmit at a standard rate of 1.54 Mpbs through the line. There are 24 channels that the company can assign for phones and Internet access.

For any business, T1 has the following advantages over the DSL:

• Business T1 uses a dedicated line. A full T1 line means the company has leased a connection from the phone company to the office. One end of this line will be routed to the Internet Service Provider.
• There is a specific, constant speed of 1.54 Mpbs, which is two-way. This means that users can upload and download files at the same rate. DSL, which is an asymmetric technology, has a speed that only goes faster during download but slower during uploads.
• There is clearer, more reliable connection at a more cost-effective price.
• Part of the business T1 line can be dedicated to voice applications. This means that users can take advantage of digital phone technology.
• Intelligent routing allows for the optimization of the path so that the critical applications get the best connections every time.
• Companies can stop using the standard phone lines and instead use business T1 for voice and Internet.
