T1 Internet Access for Dummies
The T1 Internet Service has long been available for over 40 years but in no way have there been so many "flavors" available. The number of vendors has jumped from deregulation in 1996 from a couple dozen to several thousand. Since the telecom shakedown that began in 2001 continues many of these companies are trying to stay afloat by capturing as many customers as possible with inexpensive solutions they assert being T1. Don't be fooled!
Lots of the frantic firms are putting together substandard solutions they assert are really T1 products. Just be wary of products using the strange titles like "burstable" and "reach". These products are oversubscribed similar to a DSL product. This means the provider puts a single T1 link in a CO (Central Office) and gives T1 connections to three or four customers banking on the fact that individuals don't all use the service at the same time. T1 access means dedicated usage of the web and you always have access to 1.54Mbps.
Be certain the T1 service for Prentiss is a "clearchannel" product and isn't shared with other clients. Also be sure you have a powerful SLA or Service Level Agreement from your supplier. A SLA will define the access you can receive and the expense the service provider will pay in the event that they do not provide this kind of service. If you need help, establishing the proper SLA gives you the help of a professional in case you don't have one in house. 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 get professional assistance gratis by just contacting among the many T1 brokers on the Internet.
