What Our Customers Think About Us
Are we meeting our goal of becoming the number 1 place to shop for T1 lines in the world?See what our customers have to say about their experience with us:
"Selecting a provider was simple because the work was already done for us.
We're saving more than we thought we could thanks to t1stop.com."
Todd Leishman Director MIS Allwest Plastics
"We found t1stop.com via a Web Search in Google while shopping for reliable/competitive
T-1 lines. Adam Edwards, a t1stop.com consultant, asked me questions without selling
anything and then delivered an array of options with pros and cons for each. I've
dealt with many types of vendors as a "decision maker" for multiple companies and
t1stop.com is a model for success. Needless to say we are in the process of converting
all of our data lines throughout the country with the help of t1stop.com."
Todd Kawai Controller Sierra Engineering
"t1stop.com provided us with multiple options allowing us to compare quotes and select
the best service for our needs. We were also pleased with the post-sales support
t1stop.com gave us when we needed help getting our rebates and coordinating our provisioning."
Joju Sebastian
"The nature of our business demands a reliable T1 service. t1stop.com helped us find aTier 1 service provider and negotiated a lower price than the vendor would have given
to us if we went direct.
Sunder Isaac Registrar4less.com
"We found t1stop.com to be a very convenient and cost effective way to find
new Voice and Data Service. Within 1-2 seconds there were quotes from 5-6
different providers. The t1stop.com folks were very helpful in explaining
the pros and cons of the different services they were representing."
A T-1 line actually consists of 24 individual channels, each of these channels supports 64 Kbits per second. Each 64Kbit per second channel can be configured to carry data or voice transmissions.
A T1 connection is sometimes referred to as a "dedicated service" as the service is delivered to and from the customer premise from the CO (Central Office) without combining it with other traffic.
A T1 connection is established by providing a loop or wire from the user premises to the CO where the service provider has equipment. Part of the cost of a T1 is the loop charge or the monthly rental fee for the wire that is rented from the local phone company.
T-1 lines are a popular leased line option for businesses connecting to the Internet and for Internet Service Providers (ISP's) connecting to the Internet backbone.
The Internet backbone itself consists of faster T-3 line connections.
Shopping for T1 lines is not easy. You perform a search in your favorite search engine and you see millions of pages, all of which claim to save you money.
They create simple HTML forms that look like they have been programmed by a seventh grade student which captures your information, and either sends it to every vendor in the universe or some in-house former used-car salesman who will sell you whatever will pay him the biggest bonus.
A T1 Line and DSL connection both offer bandwidth at high speed but there are factors that greatly differentiate them from one another. These factors are price and reliability.
Depending on your location and T1 provider availability, a fractional T1 will normally be priced between $250.00 and $750.00. A T1 is more expensive than a DSL connection but is much more reliable.
DSL is a quick and cost effective method of acquiring high speed bandwidth however it is not intended to support commercial applications or large numbers of users like a T1 connection.
T1 speed connections aren't just for large corporations any more. As pricing declines many people are opting for the more reliable and flexible service over a DSL connection. Also, the growing number of bandwidth hungry applications like ASP service, VOIP, streaming video and graphic heavy files is pushing the demand for more reliable connections. So, what does it take to get one of these connections?
Getting a connection isn't as complicated as it was just two years ago. Products have been streamlines and bundled for small businesses to be able to take advantage. While a standard connection was between $1,000 and $2,000 just a few years ago a small business can now find integrated service including both voice and data on a single line for as little as $500! For most companies this is comparable the price they already pay for DSL service and their phone service. So why not switch?
Switching to a more reliable connection is not only less expensive than a few years ago, the implementation has been streamlined. Companies quote a minimum of 30 days to perform an installation but some can perform the implementation in as few as 20 days! While this is possible with some companies not all companies are capable of this speed yet. Much of the implementation process is handled by the LEC (Local Exchange Carrier) and is out of the hand of your service provider. With the reduced price and streamlined implementation available you may want to reconsider your current connections and get a large company service at a small company price.
