T1 Pricing for your Business

There are so many small businesses operating today on DSL, which is OK if for a small office or work at home situation. DSL and cable internet are both great, extremely cost effective solutions when price is the most important consideration. However when your business grows out of a home office to where you depend on internet and phone service to make money and when your DSL or cable internet goes out you're losing money, then it's time to upgrade to a reliable robust T1 or DS1 circuit for you office. T1 Pricing continues to drop as competition increases among telecom carriers. $300 to $400 a month sounds like a lot to many people, but what most need to consider is that T1 line will also provide your phone service. If you have 5-6 business telephone lines and internet service, frequently you can save money by bundling your telephone lines and internet service on the T1 Line. When you consider T1 lines are ultra-reliable and monitored 24x7 for performance, T1 Pricing becomes a great value for the expanding business.

How Much Bandwidth is Enough?

We're well into the 21st century, we've become an information society. I can't believe the information that is literally at my finger tips at any time of the day or night. One of my passions is motorcycles. I'm starting a project to add a fairing to my Valkyrie motorcycle. I found an old piece of junk Batwing Harley fairing at a swap meet for a couple bucks and picked it up. In the old days, I would have had a very difficult time finding the other parts to mount it to my bike by using shoe leather and the telephone. Truth be told, I probably wouldn't be successful unless I got really lucky and found someone friendly and very knowledgeable to help. Today it took me less than 20 minutes to research that it was 70's era FLH Shovelhead fairing along with a parts breakdown of the mounting brackets required to mount it. Then a quick check of ebay revealed the project could be done. Wow! I have a 5 megabyte Verizon FiOS link to my house. T1 Pricing continues to drop every month where you get an ultra-reliable 1.5 megabyte guaranteed up and down stream broadband link that's monitored 24 hours a day. The next jump for commercial broadband service is direct Ethernet connections of 10 to 30 Gigabyte data rates at very competitive rates with T1 Reliability. As more and more applications use the worldwide data network, DSL Availability residential Internet services data rates of 50 Megabytes will become common in the next couple years. Can't wait to see the applications that be common for children! More news and information at SharpTelco.Com
