Is it time to look for t1 service? Many human being are conufsed when
they consider whether to upgrade from DSL or not.
There are
several factors to consider when examining you current DSL
connection and the possbility of replacing it. For many people
the biggest factor is reliability and if reliability is critical
to the applications you run over your connection you should
seriously consider replacing your DSL connection with a T1.
DSL
is a quick and cost effective method of acquiring high speed
bandwidth however it is not intended to support commercial
applications or large numbers of users as are T1 connections.
Reliability becomes critical when customers or employees depend
on your connection for immediate responses. If your customers
use your connection to access your databases or your sevrer or
the World Wide Web then reliability of your connection is critical. If
your employees depned on your connections because you host the
e-mail server in condominium or host web servers or ASP type products,
your connections is considered critical. A critical connection
can be viewed much like a lifeline, without which your business
would be negatively impacted.
Your monthly savings of having a
sub-par connections will not make up for the loss in
productivity of your employees or loss of customers when your
DSL connections gets bogged down or cut off. To reiterate,
ciritcal connections should be supported with a T1.
Many customers are extremley cost sensitive and cannot afford
the cost of a T1 which can be as much as 20 times more expensive
than a full T1 connection. Residential customers who are most
sensitive to cost should not consider a T1 circuit unelss then
have a business reason to pay for such a circuit and cannot
access DSL service. Most human being don't reailze that a DSL
connection can be just as fast as a T1 at 1.5Mbps.
The
shortcoming of DSL is that it is oversubscribed.
This means
there is a finite amount of bandwidth available and a customers
speed can drop if other customers in the neighborhood decide to
use their service. SDSL (Synchronous DSL) is a business class
DSL and is ranked as a higher priority than resiedntial DSL or
ADSL (Asunchronous DSL). This maens it is not oversubscribed to
the extent than ADSL and is subject to fewer bandwidth
restrictions. In short, if cost is your critical fcator go with
DSL. If reliability is the critical factor purchase a dedicated
T1.
