HIGH-SPEED CONNECTIONS
If your business has more than 10 PC's or Internet devices needing to share a high speed connection you will want to consider our dedicated T-1 service. You might also consider a T-1 if your data requirements include video conferencing, voice-over-IP and other technology which requires a faster and more reliable connection to the Internet.
Once nice feature of having your own T-1 circuit is you can start off using a smaller portion of your T-1 at a lesser cost and then upgrade your bandwidth as needed without incurring expensive installation and reconfiguration charges later.

The high speed T-1 circuit is your most reliable source for dedicated Internet service. Unlike Dialup and ISDN service, which is NOT dedicated and subject to line errors and disconnection, your T-1 circuit is a dedicated, permanent circuit between your office the Internet.
You also benefit from our commercial-grade security firewall, filtering (including anti-hacking measure) and 24x7 monitoring since your T-1 circuit is dedicated and connected directly to our facility - features not available on dialup, ISDN and DSL connections.
Your first step in deciding on high-speed T-1 service is to determine your current speed need. While a T-1 has a data rate of 1,540,000/second you may or may not need to use (and pay for) the entire bandwidth. If you aren't certain or need assistance in determining the best T-1 solution for your business please contact us and we will be happy to assist you in determining the best solution for your needs today with planning for tomorrow.
