High Speed Digital Lines Now Practical For Smaller Businesses

Rockford, IL (PR WEB) November 3, 2003 - Small and medium size businesses can now enjoy the reliability and cost savings of consolidating their telephone and Internet services onto a single high speed digital line. T1 technology, originally developed to connect telephone company central offices, is used by larger corporations for PBX, full motion video conferencing, private data lines, and company wide Internet access. Recent price reductions now make it cost effective for medium and smaller companies to upgrade to T1 circuits to replace conventional switched telephone lines and DSL Internet service. In many cases, a single T1 line can be used for both telephone and Internet access.

A single T1 line can replace up to 24 individual telephone lines. Call centers can order PRI (Primary Rate Interface) service that consists of 23 telephone lines and a data channel that provides advanced services such as automatic number identification. For larger businesses, multiple T1 lines can be combined or bonded if more than 24 phone lines are needed. The cost per minute for long distance calls using T1 service is generally a fraction of the price charged for standard switched long distance service.

T1 lines, which run at a speed of 1.544 Megabits per second, are often used to provide broadband Internet access for corporate networks and Internet Service Provider backbone connections. T1 has advantages over business DSL or cable modem Internet service. T1 can be ordered with a service level guarantee that ensures minimal downtime, unlike competing services. T1 can also be installed in rural areas and developments where DSL or cable is not available. T1 is provisioned on two pair of copper telephone wires that are installed and maintained by local telephone companies.

T1 lines, which typically now cost between $500 and $1,000 a month, are practical for businesses that spend $750 a month for telephone and Internet service and have 10 or more people in the office using at least 6 phone lines. This includes many legal offices, financial services firms, schools, credit unions, real estate agencies, and medical centers. Prices are highly competitive due to the downturn in telecommunications business over the last few years.

It is best to get multiple quotes using a specialized T1 service search engine, such as the one found at T1Rex.com. The instant quoting service accesses a database of major T1 suppliers and uses proprietary geographic analysis technology to provide users with an immediate online quote that is at least 95% accurate. There is no cost for this comparison shopping service. Technical assistance is available by request.
