Re: Irony? Fiber has SLAs too and I've gotten cheaper quotes for fiber around here than a T3. Also, the nice thing from the telco's perspective about an SLA is that you can break it and still make a crapload of money. Depending on the provider this happens all the time, particularly with T1s, which are basically just hyped up DSL connections these days. |

Reisterstown, MD | Yeah, T1 on copper are transmitted via dsl technology and you are right T1 are almost treated as dial tone these days. As for the cheaper fiber quotes-- most likely they are ethernet based non-redundant service as opposed to protected TDM services that deliver DS3's. |
