2 edits | What do you think transports the T1's? Fiber. The entire "network" (phone, cable, wireless, internet) rides on fiber. Most business of any size are fed directly by fiber-- they may be getting t1's but there is a good chance there is a mux in the telcom room. Most large business have oc3, oc12, oc48 and oc192's directly into thier data centers. The fiber issues you are seeing is best effort services-- there is not a problem with fiber transport to the customer. The problem is there is not enough transport on the back end, the transport is shared among many users like on dsl and cable. Where with t1's the customer is the only on using the 1.544-- they essentially own a dedicated time slot in the transport.
