Orange, CA | Hopefully this will lead to cheaper T1s, T3s, DS3s I currently pay $180 to SBC for each of my four T1s (plus what my ISP charges me). This $720/month is JUST for the local loop.
What a ripoff. Hopefully something comes of this complaint. |

| thats why you shop around for the T1s.
But SBC is a total rip. which is why a lot of people don't use them. Keep the CLECs and the Naked DSL coming! |

What a ripoff. Hopefully something comes of this complaint. If your ISP is certified as CLEC they can get your T lines at wholesale and mark it up at less than what SBC is selling it for. I would shop around for a ISP that is a CLEC or resells a CLEC that is a wholesaler of bandwidth. The key is that they own your loop or lease it from SBC as a UNE-L and own their own network that should tell you if SBC is over charging you for you service. What state are you in? If I may ask....Shop around you are a business buying bandwidth and you are already tagged as a premium customer( high margin ). |

Re: Hopefully this will lead to cheaper T1s, T3s, DS3s You guys miss the point on this. DSL is a voice grade circuit with no guarantees. DS1s 2s 3s, etc. are data circuits that have guaranteed up time. That means if it breaks in the middle of the night, they're going to wake somebody's sorry ass up and dispatch him...NOW. That's what you're paying for. |
