T1 Internet Access for Dummies
The T1 Internet Service has been available for over 40 years but never have there been numerous "flavors" available. The number of vendors has leaped amazingly since deregulation in 1996 from a couple dozen to several thousand. Since the telecom shakedown that began in 2001 continues many of these businesses are trying to stay afloat by capturing as many customers as possible with inexpensive solutions they assert being T1. Don't be fooled!
Most of the desperate companies are putting together inferior solutions they claim are really T1 solutions. Be leery of products with the strange titles similar to "burstable" as well as "reach". These items can be oversubscribed very similar to a DSL product. This suggests the provider puts a single T1 link within a CO (Central Office) and provides T1 hook ups to three or 4 customers banking on the fact that they don't all use the service simultaneously. T1 access implies dedicated usage of the Internet and you invariably have access to 1.54Mbps.
Make sure the T1 product in Abiquiu is a "clearchannel" product and isn't shared with different users. Also be sure you have a powerful SLA or Service Level Agreement from your supplier. A SLA will specify the access you will receive and the penalty the service supplier pays on condition that they don't provide such service. If you need assistance, establishing the appropriate SLA gives you the help of a professional in case you don't have one already. It's much better to pay a small price up front than to enter a long term contract with an substandard carrier. You can also get professional help gratis by simply contacting among the many T1 brokers on the Internet.
