How to Tell You Need T1 Service
Is it time for you to hunt for T1 service in Kemah? Many people are puzzled when they think about whether to upgrade from DSL or not. There are a number of factors to consider when examining your current DSL connection and the possibility of replacing it. For many people the chief issue is reliability and if reliability is crucial to the applications you run over your connection you should seriously consider switching your DSL connection with a T1. DSL is a quick and cost effective method of attaining high speed bandwidth, however it is not intended to support commercial applications or large numbers of users as are T1 connections.
Reliability becomes critical when customers or employees depend on your connection for instant responses. If your clients use your connection to query your databases or your server or the Internet then reliability of your connection is critical. If your employees depend on your connections because you host the e-mail server in house or host web servers or ASP type products, your connections are considered critical. A critical connection can be viewed much like a lifeline, without which your business would be negatively affected. Your monthly savings of having a sub-par connections will not make up for the loss in productivity of your employees or loss of customers when your DSL connections gets bogged down or cut off. To reiterate, critical connections should be supported with a T1.
Many customers are sensitive to price and cannot pay for the cost of a T1 which can be as much as 20 times more expensive than a residential DSL connection. Residential customers who are as a rule sensitive to price should not consider a T1 circuit unless then have a business reason to pay for such a circuit and cannot get DSL service. Most people don't know that a DSL connection can be just as fast as a T1 at 1.5Mbps. The limitation of DSL is that it is oversubscribed. This means there is a limited amount of bandwidth available and a customer's speed can fall off if other customers in the neighborhood decide to use their service. SDSL (Synchronous DSL) is a business class DSL and is ranked as a higher priority than residential DSL or ADSL (Asynchronous DSL). This means it is not oversubscribed to the degree as ADSL and is subject to fewer bandwidth restrictions. In short, if price is your critical factor, then go with DSL. If reliability is the critical factor, then purchase a dedicated T1.
