TELECOM BITS Each call on a T1 Line is digitized and assigned to one of 24 eight bit time slots synchronized to the infamous atomic clocks. T3 lines are used for data needs over very long distance or heavy bandwidth. Connections include Bonded (load balanced) T-1 (DS-1) lines (3 mbps to 12 mbps), T3 (DS3) lines (6 mbps to 45 mbps), point to point private lines. CRG West operates carrier-neutral data centers in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, San Jose, Silicon Valley, and Washington, DC. ASCII is the acronym for the American Standard Code for Information Interchange. Our carrier portfolio includes, AT&T, BBCOM, Verizon, Earthlink, Qwest Communications, Bellsouth, Megapath, Netifice, Cavalier, Covad, Level 3 and One Communications T1 Lines, DS3 Bandwidth and VoIP. The number of ports alone can vary greatly among other features such as the chassis size, availability of Power Over Ethernet or PoE and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. You will need a more expensive and reliable SDSL or T1 connection if you plan on hosting your own web or mail servers. SDSL uses the same copper wires that are normally used for making voice telephone calls. Not all dark fiber networks or dark fiber suppliers do the same level of round the clock signal testing. ANSI is also known as American National Standards Institute. A Bonded T1 line delivers the speed of two 1.5 Mbps DS1 loops together into one affordable, congruent connection to deliver 3.0 Mbps of symmetrical upload and download speed. Cable modem service is often available as part of a "triple-play" bundle of services that include broadband Internet connectivity, digital cable television programming and digital telephone service. The Internet backbone itself consists of faster T-3 line connections. The mandate of 1966 required that the utility company shared its space with other providers to ensure that landscapes were not needlessly marred and that there was not an over run of cable laying. Commercial T1 service offers the most reliable, guaranteed upload and download speeds and best professional 24/7 Network Operations Center support available anywhere. No matter what ISP you use, cable and DSL will lose their lightening fast speed during peak times.

Once one T1 lines is in use, it is easier and more cost effective to add additional T1 lines as the need increases. If your organization is currently dealing with network capacity issues, then now may be the time for your business or organization to upgrade to an E3 line. Fiber optic cables are not made from copper which the utility is required to share, but are essentially glass, which they are not required to share. The cost of upgrading from a T1 line to T3 is rather expensive and can result in unacceptable interruptions of business continuity. Due to the fact that cable size had little effect on the cost of installation of fiber optics telecommunications companies in planning for the future installed cables much larger that were actually need at the time. Retail locations, such as fast food restaurants, grocery stores and hardware stores need quick, dependable POS (Point of Sale) bandwidth/broadband connections for credit card transactions, financial reporting and inventory management.

An OC3 Circuit is 155 megabits per second or 84 T1s, an OC12 line equals 622 megabits per second or 4 OC3 circuits. Internet DSL service is actually very different than phone service. Besides the noticeable difference of one being voice and one being data, competitive carriers often use their own equipment which is kept at the phone company's facilities or CO. T1 lines transport data at an incredible rate comparative to traditional lines that carry date at 30,000 bits a normal T1 line will carry data at 1. 544 megabits. The cost of a T1 line can vary greatly depending on how many providers are present in a certain market, and the distance of the loop. Monthly T1 prices range from $250 to $1000 with a similar cost for the initial setup depending on term agreement.
