Advantages of Employing an Internet T1 Line Service

Internet T1 lines are one of the most popular forms of business Internet service in use today. Made up of 24 channels that can be used to carry data (a full Internet T1 line provides speeds of 1.5Mb per second) and/or voice service, Internet T1 lines provide reliable bandwidth that can be scaled either up or down in order to meet the changing needs of your business.

One of the benefits of employing an Internet T1 line is that your likely already have the necessary wiring installed in your building. Because Internet T1 lines are supplied on two pairs of common telephone wire, which are put in and maintained by local telephone companies, they can be provisioned virtually anywhere telephone lines are run. As a result, Internet T1 lines are frequently available in areas where other services, such as DSL, are not.

In terms of reliability, the majority of Internet T1 providers offer Service Level Agreements that cover everything from availability (most providers aim for 99.9% or higher) to repair time, latency, jitter and packet loss. Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are not available with alternative services, such as cable or DSL, and can have a huge impact on your service. For example, if your service is interrupted or the terms outlined in the SLA are not met, you receive compensation for the amount of time your business is impacted. If you employ a service like cable or DSL, you are simply at the mercy of your provider and receive no compensation for such issues.

Internet T1 lines are also flexible; when integrated, a specific number of channels on an Internet T1 line can be set aside for Internet service, and the remaining channels can be used for telephone calls. The reliability and flexibility of an Internet T1 line makes it the ideal choice for almost anyone, including:
  • Banks
  • Credit unions
  • Call centers
  • School districts
  • Medical facilities
  • Universities
  • Insurance companies
  • Legal offices
  • Call centers
  • Businesses with their own email and web servers and/or PBX systems
