At the most fundamental level, a
t1 internet
connection is the link from your companies data
infrastructure to the rest of the world. A T1 connection
is sometimes referred to as a "dedicated service" as the
service is delivered to and from the customer premise from
the CO (Central Office) without combining it with other
traffic. A T1 connections is established by providing a
"loop" or wire from the users premesis to the CO where the
service provider has equipment. Part of the cost of a T1
is the "loop charge" or the monthly rental fee for the wire
that is rented from the local phone company. Once the connection
reaches the CO it can access the carriers network and reach
any destination. While
understanding the service may be somewhat straightforward,
getting the service implemented is not always so easy.
Like any business decision, a switch in T1 providers should
be properly researched. You probably don't have time to
listen to all carriers sales pitches that you should in
