How fast are T1, T2, and T3 Wireless Internet connections?
These numbers indicate how much data can be sent and received per second, which are best explained through comparisons. Using a dial-up modem transfers data at an average rate of about 30,000 bits per second (30 kilobits per second), whereas a T1 line can transmit 1.536 megabits per second (1.536 Mbps > 1,536 kbs > 1,536,000 bps), providing service up to 60 times faster than a traditional modem. Having a T3 connection, which can transfer data up to 44.736 megabits per second, is equal to having seven (7) T2 connections or twenty-eight (28) T1 connections. The European Union uses a different carrier line called the E1, E2 and E3. In any event, for what costs around $500.00 to $700.00 per month for a true T1 connection today, you will only be paying $19.95 for the Wireless Corporation’s T1 service.
