What is a T-1

What are T-1s and who needs one

T-1

Trunk Level 1 or otherwise known as a DS-1 in North America.  T-1s were developed in the 1950s which allowed for 1.54Mbps of bandwidth, for example this would support 24 voice channels for conversation and is a standard for digital transmission in the United States.  T-1s can be use strictly for voice or data or fractionalized for both voice and data needs.  a T-1 is a dedicated or private circuit for your business alone and is not shared like that of DSL or High Speed Internet.

This is a great product to work in conjunction with our VoIP.  Also know that several of our competitors actually use several channels of the 24 channels to operate their T-1, thus you are not receiving a full T-1.

Who would use this?

Small to large businesses with more than six people using the Internet at one time or six VoIP phones and moderate internet use.  Anyone who downloads or uploads large data files, if you cannot receive adequate DSL or High speed Internet to operate your interconnect needs.  T-1s are often less expensive than 24 individual lines and a DSL product.
