T-1 Internet Lines:
An Internet T1 (or T-1 line) is a digital, dedicated local access connection supporting data rates of 1.544 Megabits Per Second (Mbps) that can be channelized into 24 individual channels that each provide 64 Kilobits Per Second (Kbps). Each 64 Kbps channel can connect to the Internet individually or the Internet T1 can be configured to aggregate all of the 24 channels into one large 1.544 Mbps concatenated channel.





DIRECTV:
Everybody Loves DIRECTV! DIRECTV, sometimes spelled incorrectly as DIRECT TV or DIRECTTV, is the number one used satellite TV service in America with over 16 million members and still growing rapidly. Dish Network is far behind in the number of subscribers with only 11.2 million - about 5 million less than DIRECTV.

DIRECTV is The Best in Customer Satisfaction with customer service cannot be beat. For the past several years, DIRECTV has received the highest score for customer satisfaction from The American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI). These scores were better than those of all other satellite and cable TV companies, including Dish Network. According to the J.D. Power & Associates 2007 Residential Cable/Satellite TV Satisfaction Study, DIRECTV has better customer service than Dish Network.

Saving more money with DIRECTV! If you are looking to save money and avoid any up-front fees, DIRECTV is the service for you! Its packages start as low as $29.99 / month and do not include any type of up-front fee. Dish Network, on the other hand, does charge up-front fees. For example, the Dish Network Digital Home Advantage program charges an up-front fee of $49.99!

DIRECTV Sports Packages are Unrivaled! DIRECTV is far superior to Dish Network when it comes to sports channels. DIRECTV offers certain sports channels that other services cannot offer. DIRECTV has recently added the NBA League Pass and NHL Center Ice to the list of packages that they offer. Dish Network can offer some, but not nearly all of the packages that DIRECTV offers.

DIRECTV Uses theMost Advanced Technology and delivers all of their channels in the best digital-quality picture and sound possible today. DIRECTV simply has more to offer than Dish Network or cable.










VoIP:
Voice over IP (VoIP) sends voice data in packets using the Internet Protocol (IP) instead of analog waves as does plain old telephone service (POTS) lines. Voice and Internet services are delivered over a local loop access circuit using the Internet Protocol (IP), and phone calls are delivered over the carefully-managed network often running the SIP protocol for Voice over IP. Many VoIP service providers guarantee that phone calls will not travel over the public Internet, but are converted and transmitted over the traditional telephone network directly from the VoIP provider's private Internet network that usually adheres to a defined Quality of Service (QoS).







ADT Home Security Systems:
With an ADT Monitored Home Security System, your home will be monitored at all times with window and door sensors that notify you if a door or window is opened. If a window or door is unexpectedly opened, a notification will be sent immediately to ADT security and to you and local authorities may be quickly dispatched to your home.

MPLS:
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a data communication standard that creates separate data paths for specific sequences of packets. Each packet is identified by a label that is encapsulated into each packet. This eliminates the need for Internet Protocol (IP) routers to look up the IP address of the next router in the network in order to forward the packet and as a result, speeds up the network.

MPLS works across various data protocols such as the Internet Protocol (IP), Asynchronous Transport Mode (ATM), and frame relay. MPLS forwards most packets at layer 2 (switching) instead of at layer 3 (routing) level.

MPLS makes it easier to manage network for quality of service (QoS) because packets can be prioritized by business importance. For example, Voice over IP (VoIP) can be prioritized over email and web browsing packets.




Ethernet Access to the Internet from your Local Area Network (LAN)
Connect your business local area network (LAN) to the Internet using the same protocol that operates on your LAN: Ethernet. This increasingly popular Internet access solution makes it easy to connect all of the computers on your LAN at your company to the Internet with minimal configuration and cost.

A major feature of Internet over Ethernet is the ease in which you can upgrade from 1 Mbps to 1 Gbps. Simply call your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and ask for an upgrade and it can be provisioned almost in real time. This service is the future of Internet access for the foreseable future.




DSL (Digital Subscriber Line Service):
Digital Subscriber Line Service (DSL) has become a very popular Internet access service. This is because DSL uses the existing copper pairs that already exist between most customer premise offices and the local phone company central office (CO). A DSL connection is set up between a DSL modem at the customer premise and a DSL access multiplexer, or DSLAM, at the phone company central office. Both voice and data can be run across the same DSL connection by using a filter to separate voice traffic from Internet traffic.

DSL has become a widely-accepted and increasingly reliable method of delivering phone service and providing Internet access that saves end users money because both voice and data are delivered across the same plain old telephone serivce (POTS) line. However, the distance to the local phone company central office where the copper POTS line is connected from the customer premise to the DSLAM will determine the potential speed of the DSL connection.




Wireless Internet Service:
High-speed satellite and microwave Internet connections for business can replace or back up traditional terrestrial landlines such as Internet T1s and Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) service. With wireless IInternet service in place as your primary or backup Internet connection, you can always count on low-latency connection to the Internet that means you will have an "always up", "never down", "zero outage" service that eliminates wasted time and increases productivity.

 Finding the Right T1 Provider

Written by: Patrick Oborn - Jan 7, 2009


Telecommunications contracts can be much like a marriage and as we all know there are good and bad marriages. The fact is, when you enter into a telecommunications contract with a T1 provider for reasonable amount of bandwidth or voice service you will have to enter into a long term contract. Telecommunications contracts for T1's and T3's typically range from 1 year to 3 years. Anything longer than a 3 year contract is usually only seen in very large applications like OC3 and OC12 or complex frame relay connections with many nodes. While the term of the contract will not be a problem if you have the right provider, the contract could prove extremely burdensome with the wrong provider.

We suggest using a broker to walk you through your options and show you the providers and services available. A broker or independent agent can help reduce the time it takes you to shop around for a T1 provider by asking you the questions once and searching through multiple providers to get the service that is right for you. The agent helps steer clear of the bias you will receive when speaking with one vendor as the agent will be paid no matter which service you choose. As the agent doesn't work with a specific provider like AT&T or Sprint, he or she will not push you in that direction if they are not right for you.

Remember that the t1 provider you select will be your partner for quite some time so take caution in your decision. The worst part of being with a bad provider is the fact that it will affect your business. Dropped calls or an internet connection that goes down can be disastrous to a business. We found that the larger companies like AT&T and Sprint will release companies from long term contracts it if is shown that the voice or data T1 service was faulty on a regular basis, however the release from such a contract will not help recoup the damages of the lost calls and e-mails from the poor service. When shopping for a T1 provider we suggest using a broker and asking for referrals from current customers to give you an indication of what you can expect.
