Re: Full T1 vs Business Ethernet 3x3Mb (bonded)
Find out how many bonded Ethernet circuits they have running. When they first started bonding T1s they had all sorts of issues. You don't want to be their guinea pig.
I'm surprised that you can get a 9mbit Ethernet circuit for the same price as a T1. The T1 should be around $300- are you getting the bonded Ethernet circuit for that? |

| Good idea.
And, it doesn't say 9Mb anywhere in the literature, so do I assume that 3 x 3Mb == 9Mb? That makes sense in real life, but in marketing-speak...
I am worried about latency. Would I have to sacrifice the low latency of the T1 for the higher bandwidth of the Ethernet? It would be very helpful if someone could explain this to me.
Thanks!! |

FYI -- Speakeasy has a sub-60 millisecond latency per their terms of service:
"Speakeasy guarantees a maximum average latency of 60 milliseconds from Customer's router to the nearest gateway on the IP network"

@algx.net | Just want to make a comment about Speakeasy reselling ANYthing from XO -- this is not good at all. I am currently considering switching from XO to Speakeasy for the T1 (1.5) service and have had a really awful experience with XO over the years. |

I have a 3.0/3.0 order in for a client right now. I'll report back after cutover to let everyone know how it's going. |
