What is a T1 Circuit?

T1 access provides you high-speed, dedicated access to your applications. T1 is also scalable so can provide more and faster access for your expanding business needs. The reliable and scalable T1 access can provide speeds up to 1.544Mbps.

A T1 transfers data between two points at 1.544 Mbps symmetrically, and is ideal for customers who need a high-speed connectivity to the Internet or as one link in their virtual or real private network. A  T1 connection provides roughly 60 times more data than a normal residential modem. It is also extremely reliable, much more reliable than an analog modem. Depending on what they are doing, a T1 line can generally handle quite a few people. For general browsing, hundreds of users are easily able to share a T1 line comfortably. In addition, a T1 connection is a dedicated link and unlike ISDN and analog modem connections, the T1 connection is up 24 hours a day.

With bandwidth at 1.544 Mbps, T1 connections can put an entire company network online, with individual web browsing and email for everyone.  Or you can use it to host a busy company website on your own in-house server.

Common Types of T1 Connections...

Fractional T1:  Fractional T1 is a private, dedicated leased line that goes directly from your office to your Internet Service Provider (ISP), providing a guaranteed transmission speed.  Leased lines provide guaranteed bandwidth, since they are not shared with other users.  Fractional T1 lines are cheaper than a full T1 (1.544Mbps).  The most common fractional T1 speeds are 256 Kbps and 384 Kbps.

Frame Relay:  Frame Relay (a packet-switched protocol), sends information in packets called frames through a shared Frame-Relay network.  Instead of being allocated a fixed amount of bandwidth, Frame-Relay services offer a CIR (committed information rate) at which data is transmitted.  Also, Frame Relay is entirely digital, which reduces the chance of error and offers excellent transmission rates (typically 56 Kbps to 1.544 Mbps).  Frame Relay's were also developed to connect to LANs and WANs.

Burstable T1:  Burstable T1 service is the ideal solution for customers requiring very high bandwidth in bursts.  The full T1 bandwidth is available all the time, but we tier our pricing so customers who typically use less than 512 Kbps of bandwidth pay a lower rate.

Point to Point:  A Point to Point T1 is the nest application for such business applications as hosting web and email servers as well as and conducting audio and video conferencing over the Internet.  Because Point to Point offers the most guaranteed dedicated connection available, this service is also recommended for companies transferring private files or using corporate VPNs and WANs.

Double T1:  Double T1 provides increased bandwidth for customers who need more than a T1, but are unable to upgrade to T3 due to cost considerations.  It offers the use of two dedicated Internet T1 circuits from one router at the customer's site to a single Internet hub.

Diverse T1:  Diverse T1 is an ideal solution for organizations with heavy traffic loads seeking redundancy.  It uses two T1 circuits from one router at the customer's site.  The two Diverse T1 circuits are delivered to two diverse Internet hubs.

Shadow T1:  Shadow T1 is a multi-homed, dual T1 service, in which two T1 connections to the Internet are provided for the customer.  The Shadow T1 connection serves as an emergency backup for the primary T1 connection.  The recommended Shadow T1 configuration terminates the Shadow T1 at an Internet hub that is distinct from the hub where the customer has their primary T1 connection.
