you realize this is the business forum, so you are going to be getting business grade services and their corresponding prices, right? | |

Yes,this is for a business.... and I am just seeing what is out there as it is not an easy thing to do. Its pretty simple with Comcast and ATT to know their pricing.
"Business grade" doesn't mean 100% guaranteed uptime and I don't require a SLA. (Frankly I catch waaaay more grief if the home connection goes down!!) And as businesses dump T1s and move straight to ethernet and so forth connections, they have no appetite to pay for the related phone and switches and other gear for T1s.
Any wireless guys out here?

All you need is a T1 Router (just like you need a Cable modem, or DSL modem). You may be thinking of a mixed Phone, and data T1, but that is not what we are talking about here.
Fixed Wireless is good in some places, and for some applications, however speaking from experience with 2 different ISP's, trying to run VoIP over them, can be problematic. Just an FYI.
Good luck with your search.

Thanks, I am going to test a wireless group with voip that promises great things. If good, I will just suck it up for a year and re-evaluate then.

| What about buying a phone line from one of your neighbors and having it moved to your building.
Or finding someone who doesn't use theirs for DSL and getting them to put it on theirs and then running a cable or wireless to you?
Something like that. | |
