T1 Internet Access for Dummies
The T1 Internet Service has been around for over 40 years but never have there been so many "flavors" offered. The amount of providers has leaped amazingly from deregulation in 1996 from a few dozen to several thousand. Since the telecom shakedown that began in 2001 continues many of these companies are trying to stay afloat by getting as many customers as possible with low-cost products they claim being T1. Do not be fooled!
Lots of the desperate companies are putting together substandard products they claim are really T1 products. Just be leery of products using the strange titles like "burstable" and "reach". These items are oversubscribed much like a DSL product. This suggests the provider puts a single T1 link within a CO (Central Office) and sells T1 hook ups to three or four clients banking on the fact that they usually do not all make use of the resource at the same time. T1 access means sole access to the Internet and you invariably have access to 1.54Mbps.
Make sure the T1 service in Arlington is a "clearchannel" item and is not shared with different clients. Also be sure you have a powerful SLA or Service Level Agreement from your supplier. A SLA will define the access you will receive and the penalty the service supplier will pay in the event that they do not supply such service. If you need assistance, establishing the correct SLA gives you the help of a professional in case you don't have one in house. It's much better to spend a small fee up front than to enter a long term contract with an substandard carrier. You can also get expert help gratis by just contacting among the many T1 brokers on the Internet.
