T1 Internet Access for Dummies
The T1 Internet Service has long been available for over 40 years yet never have there been so many "flavors" available. The number of vendors has jumped since deregulation in 1996 from a couple dozen to several thousand. As the telecom shakedown that started in 2001 continues many of these companies are trying to stay afloat by getting as many customers as possible with cheap solutions they claim being T1. Do not be fooled!
Lots of the frantic businesses are putting together substandard products they claim are T1 products. Just be wary of products with the weird titles similar to "burstable" and "reach". These products are oversubscribed similar to a DSL product. This means the provider places a single T1 link within a CO (Central Office) and sells T1 hook ups to 3 or 4 clients banking on the fact that they usually do not all make use of the service at the same time. True, T1 access implies dedicated usage of the web and you invariably have access to 1.54Mbps.
Be certain the T1 product for Clayton is a "clearchannel" item and isn't shared with other clients. Also be certain you have an SLA or Service Level Agreement from your supplier. A SLA will specify the access you can get and the penalty the service company will pay in the event that they do not 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 small price up front than to enter a long term contract with an inferior carrier. You can also get expert assistance free of charge by simply contacting one of the many T1 brokers on the Internet.
