What is a T1 used for ?
There are different types of T1 Lines. They can be used in a variety of ways: Dedicated T1 Internet access – A dedicated T1 connection to the Internet is a high speed connection that is always on. It’s comprised of a T1 local loop that takes you to the ISP’s Point of Presence (POP) and a full T1 speed connection to the Internet at the POP. U nlike dial-up, DSL, cable or satellite, dedicated Internet access usually carries a Service Level Agreement (SLA) that guarantees at least 99.9% of the T1 bandwidth will be available to you at least 99.9% of the time or you will be refunded for a portion or all of the days on which full access was not acheived. Unlike all the other mentioned types of Internet access, dedicated access, properly delivered, is never shared, thus always providing you with maximum speed that should rarely be subject to the slow downs shared services experience at peak hours.
