Re: Understanding T1 benefits

I know I be taking the blame if we sign a contract for a T1 then the internet doesn't improve.
First off, be sure to negotiate that you will get the credit if the internet does improve. Your ISDN BRI line runs at 144K, right? So a T1 at 1.5M will be 10 times faster! It's just math. Even better, assuming your $500 price is from a Tier I provider (AT&T, VZB, Sprint, Qwest, Global Crossing, Savvis, XO) the T1 speed will be dedicated to your circuit ... no sharing upstream bandwith or oversold situations like with DSL and cable (and ISDN BRI) ... this might be what you're referring to with "True Speed." On the other hand, if you publicize that you're getting a new internet connection, people might increase their use (start downloading things they would not have otherwise downloaded, etc) which might drive performance down to current levels of response. You'll want to put some management tools in place to block access to internet sites that would be inappropriate for the business you're doing there. |
