A critical question that confronts any
business or organization owner is what to do when it comes to Internet
connectivity. There is an immense range of technology when it comes to
communications and choosing the right one is imperative for many reasons. Wrong
technology can see you losing out on market share to your competition extremely
quickly. This is because today definitely is the information age and any delay
in getting back your customers or even a small thing like the long time that
your website takes to load can see you losing customers extremely quickly.
Therefore, going about finding the
right kind of technology and the right kind of telecom carrier or service
provider is pretty critical for your business.
Location specific services
When it comes to locating a telecom
carrier who can meet your requirements from a T1 connection, it will boil down
to your location. You can be a residential owner or a business owner but you
can find out whether a T1 line is available in your location by logging onto
the website of the service provider and entering details pertaining to your
address. You can get a price quote from multiple service providers telling you
about the availability of T1 lines and how much they are going to cost. Today,
with the massive advancements that this technology has gone through, a T1 line
is available almost everywhere.
How are T1 line services delivered?
When you get T1 price quotes from
telecom carriers, they would have factored in the distance of your location
from the nearest telecom “office”. T1 lines are deployed through copper pair
lines and these are pretty common. But, if you live in a place or work from a
place which does not have telephone connectivity for now, then this distance
will be factored in into the carrier pricing. Carrier pricing will also take
care of the phone jack such as RJ-45 or RJ-48 that will need to be installed
for your T1 service to be deployed.
Online tools
You can also log onto the website of
the service provider and find out exactly how much T1 price
quotes from a particular carrier will cost you. Depending on the
website that you log into, you will need to give details such as
- Current technology or connection that you use
- The technology or connection that you are looking out for
- Other services that you need from a service provider
- Whether you have legacy Internet connectivity or existing infrastructure
- Your location and
- Your contact details so the service provider or telecom carrier can revert you
Online quote samples
Quite a few telecom carriers or service
providers also have a very helpful quote sample on their website itself. Looking through such samples will give you an idea of the kind of services that
they provide which can range from fractional T1, bonded T1, Metro Ethernet to
integrated T1 and so on. They will also be able to give you monthly costs,
inclusion of equipment charges and whether they give you any rebates of any
kind. Such online quote samples will also be able to give you annual fees and
how much you can save by choosing a per annum payment rather than per month
payment.
