Types of Service

If yours is a larger company; for instance, having fifty or more employees or simply doing your day to day business entails a lot of telephone usage, you may want to look into a voice T1 line instead.

A dedicated high speed line with 24 channels for voice or data, T1 is a flexible communications solution. A T1 line can handle somewhere between fifty and a hundred phone lines of average usage, as well as allowing data transfers at speeds of as much as 1.544 megabytes per second.

Much faster than any dial-up or DSL connection, this works well for many companies. If your needs exceed the capacity of a T1 line, there is also the option of going with a T3 line. Remember to keep in mind what your line will be used for when in the market for a new provider; if you need to support large applications or streaming video, some lines may not be up to the task.
