Is T1 Dedicated Internet a good fit for your business needs? A T1 line is a multi-channel line that allows you to transmit both voice and data at the same time. It offers greater capacity and more bandwidth than a typical business class cable line. Because a T1 line is dedicated to your business, meaning you do not have to share it or compete with any other internet users in your area, it delivers the connectivity and speed you need.
One way to picture a T1 line is to think of it as a data highway. You own your own private lane on the data superhighway and can bypass the traffic congestion of others sharing a single lane or connection. Your T1 is faster because it is a direct route to the internet with no other traffic to slow you down. Because you are the only one who can access your line, your data is also more secure.
Your T1 circuit is always on, open for business so to speak. This is why T1 lines are sometimes referred to as dedicated lines. No one else has access to your T1 line and it is always on and ready. For this reason a T1 dedicated line is going to cost more than an ISDN (internet services digital network) where you share a connection with other subscribers.
