T1 speed
connections aren't just for large corporations any more. As pricing
declines many people are opting for the more reliable and flexible
service over a DSL connection. Also, the growing number of bandwidth
hungry applications like ASP service, VOIP, streaming video and
graphic heavy files are pushing the demand for more reliable connections.
So, what does it take to get one of these connections? Getting
a connection isn't as complicated as it was just two years ago.
Products have been streamlines and bundled for small businesses
to be able to take advantage. While a standard connection was
between $1,000 and $2,000 just a few years ago a small business
can now find integrated service including both voice and data
on a single line for as little as $500! For most companies this
is comparable the the price they already pay for DSL service and
their phone service. So why not switch?
Switching to a more reliable
connection is not only less expensive than a few years ago, the
implementation has been streamlined. Companies quote a minimum
of 30 days to perform an installation but some can perform the
implementation in as few as 20 days! While this is possible with
some companies not all companies are capable of this speed yet.
Much of the imlementation process is handled by the LEC (Local
Exchange Carrier) and is out of the hand of your service provider.
With the reduced price and streamlined implementation available
you may want to reconsider your current connections and get a
large company service at a small company price.
