said by wentlanc  :A T1 or DS3 circuit is not a DSL or cable connection Of course they aren't, that's why my original post referenced a business class circuit. |

| DSL and Cable connections are be definition a circuit. What you may have meant, but failed to mention, is a dedicated service, or private line service. A tremendous waste of his money. And BTW, some T1 services are merely throttled DSL connections because they are cheaper for the carrier to provide.

Maineville, OH | Because he does not need dedicated bandwidth. That is the advantage of dedicated service over a shared service like DSL or Cable.

| Since I like the metric system, yes they are. So if envoid transfers 500 Megagobs per month, does s/he require a dedicated connection? |

| 1 megagibbles per second = 321.013651 gigagobs per month (assuming that we are talking in a single direction)
Sound like too much to expect from your 20/2 connection, which is capable of transferring up to 6.5 teragobs in a month?
So what you are saying is that ~6% of the capacity that you are purchasing is too much usage??
REALLY?!
What percentage of the bandwidth that we purchase would you LIKE for us to be able to get?
