t1stop.com, powered by ShopforT1's GeoQuote technology, regards your privacy
as the first step in building a long term relationship of trust and loyalty.
Our GeoQuote(tm) technology enables you to query the databases of over
a dozen nationwide and regional T1 service providers in real-time. In order to
perform this calculation for you, we require a nominal amount of personal
data.
What happens to my information once I submit it to GeoQuote?
Just seconds after you submit your information, GeoQuote goes to work.
A page of qualifying T1 service providers (without the names of the providers)
will appear, with links to obtain detailed information about the plans
you are viewing. After your price quote is obtained, GeoQuote stores
the data you entered in our ulta-secure database. No third party can
access our database so you can rest assured that you will not receive
annoying phone calls or emails from multiple providers after entering your
information here!
At the end of the process, your information is securely assigned to
a member of our in-house consulting staff. That consultant will attempt
to contact you via your preferred contact method in order to discuss
your situation and find the right product at the right price. Helping you
get a great rate on a T1 line is our first priority and you can rest assured
that our team of trained and experienced consultants will give you the
unbiased research you deserve.
A T-1 line actually consists of 24 individual channels, each of these channels supports 64 Kbits per second. Each 64Kbit per second channel can be configured to carry data or voice transmissions.
A T1 connection is sometimes referred to as a "dedicated service" as the service is delivered to and from the customer premise from the CO (Central Office) without combining it with other traffic.
A T1 connection is established by providing a loop or wire from the user premises to the CO where the service provider has equipment. Part of the cost of a T1 is the loop charge or the monthly rental fee for the wire that is rented from the local phone company.
T-1 lines are a popular leased line option for businesses connecting to the Internet and for Internet Service Providers (ISP's) connecting to the Internet backbone.
The Internet backbone itself consists of faster T-3 line connections.
Shopping for T1 lines is not easy. You perform a search in your favorite search engine and you see millions of pages, all of which claim to save you money.
They create simple HTML forms that look like they have been programmed by a seventh grade student which captures your information, and either sends it to every vendor in the universe or some in-house former used-car salesman who will sell you whatever will pay him the biggest bonus.
A T1 Line and DSL connection both offer bandwidth at high speed but there are factors that greatly differentiate them from one another. These factors are price and reliability.
Depending on your location and T1 provider availability, a fractional T1 will normally be priced between $250.00 and $750.00. A T1 is more expensive than a DSL connection but is much more reliable.
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 like a T1 connection.
An OC3 line is an ultra high-speed connection capable of transmitting data at rates up to 155 Mbps. Some ISP's, large corporations and universities with high-volume network traffic will require an OC3 if they have an extremely high volume of traffic that can't be handled by a DS3. An OC3 is so large that some ISP's use this as the backbone to their network. If you believe you're in the market for OC3 Service we recommend getting hold of an expert.
While you may be an expert when it comes to network connections and data applications you will still want to have an expert by your side when it comes to pricing and negotiating for connections. The expert to whom we refer is a broker or independent agent. In addition to being knowledgeable of the technology a brokers expertise lies in his or her knowledge of carriers, their networks, their strengths and weaknesses and also in their relationship with sales managers and VP's at the companies. This means a better deal for you!
There is an opportunity to achieve significant cost reductions in your oc3 service. The key is using an expert broker. Brokers don't charge fees to the end user and they don't mark up the priceof the service. They are paid by the company which you sign with at the end. As the carrier doesn't have to pay an inside sales rep for the sale, they compensate the broker instead and maintain the same margin as though you went direct. Another advantage of the agent is the fact that he is paid on a residual basis. This means that he or she is interested in the longevity of your account and the level of your service.
