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.

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.
