T1 Internet Access for Dummies
The T1 Internet Service continues to be available for more than 40 years but never have there been so many "flavors" offered. The number of vendors has leaped amazingly from deregulation in 1996 from a couple dozen to several thousand. Since the telecom shakeout that started in 2001 continues many of these companies are trying to stay afloat by capturing as many clients as possible with low-cost solutions they assert to be T1. Don't be fooled!
Numerous desperate companies are putting together inferior products they claim are really T1 products. Just be wary of products using the funny titles like "burstable" and "reach". These items are oversubscribed much like a DSL product. This means the provider places a single T1 connection within a CO (Central Office) and sells T1 hook ups to 3 or 4 clients hoping individuals don't all use the service at the same time. T1 access means dedicated usage of the Internet and you always have access to 1.54Mbps.
Make sure your T1 service for Brewster is a "clearchannel" product and is not shared with other clients. Also be sure you truly have a powerful SLA or Service Level Agreement from your provider. A SLA will specify the access you can receive and the penalty the service provider will pay if they do not supply this kind of service. If you need assistance, establishing the correct SLA gives you the help of a professional in case you don't have one already. It's much better to spend a tiny price up front than to enter a long term contract with an inferior carrier. You can also receive authoritative assistance free of charge by just contacting among the many T1 brokers on the web.
