Finding the Right T1 Service.

Written by: Brad Dudley - Nov 19, 2008

With so many different telecommunications companies offering what they claim to be T1 Service these days, it is difficult to understand what is what. Some of these companies sell what they call "Burstable T1", which is closer to a business level dsl service than a full T1 Service. This is how they can sell it for 30-50% less than a full T1 line. These companies do not generally use top tier providers. They are usually small companies who try to offer a specialized service to businesses in a small area. The services you want to look out for are the ones that do not offer a Service Level Agreement(SLA). An SLA is an agreement that plainly states the level of service you can expect to receive. If that level of service is not met there is a penalty, usually in the form of a discount on your bill. Using a quality top tier t1 service provider can save you from a lot of headaches down the road. This is why we only offer T1 Service from quality top tier providers including Acc Business, Broadwing, MegaPath, Netifice, New Edge Networks, Qwest, Network Innovations, Power Net Global, Telepacific, UCN, US Lec, Xspedius, XO Communications, Aire Spring, AT&T, Bellsouth, Broad Sky Networks, Nuvox Communications, Splice Communications, and Telnes Broadband.
