T1 Internet Access for Dummies
This particular T1 Internet Service has long been around for more than 40 years but never have there been so many "flavors" available. The number of vendors has jumped since deregulation in 1996 from a few dozen to several thousand. As the telecom shakeout that began in 2001 continues many of these companies are attempting to stay afloat by capturing as many customers as possible with low-cost products they claim being T1. Don't be fooled!
Lots of the desperate firms are putting together substandard products they assert are really T1 products. Be leery of products using the strange titles similar to "burstable" as well as "reach". These products are oversubscribed much like a DSL product. This means the provider puts a single T1 link in a CO (Central Office) and gives T1 hook ups to three or four clients banking on the fact that they don't all use the service at the same time. T1 access means sole usage of the web and you always have access to 1.54Mbps.
Make sure the T1 product for Alcalde is a "clearchannel" item and isn't shared with other users. Also be sure you have an SLA or Service Level Agreement from your provider. A SLA will specify the access you will get and the expense the service company will pay if they don't provide this kind of service. If you need assistance, establishing the appropriate SLA gives you the help of an expert if you don't have one in house. It's much better to pay a tiny price up front than to enter a long term agreement with an inferior carrier. You can definitely receive authoritative assistance free of charge by simply contacting one of the many T1 brokers on the web.
