What is a Full T1 Connection?
A. When a carrier gives you the option of purchasing a full T1, you can get the full 1.544Mbps circuit unchannelized direct into the Internet (or Frame Network, or Point-to-Point); also known as a clear channel T1. A Fractional T1 is a channelized T1 with only some of the channels turned on. Fractional T1’s are normally priced in terms of Kbps. For example you can get 384kbps, 512kbps or 768kbps from most carriers. However, given the cost of provisioning, you may be better off paying more money for the full line.
