What is 4 Server Colocation T1 Service?

A T1, or DS1, is a high-speed data link protocol that has been a standard in the telecommunications industry for more than three decades. A full T1 transfers data at 1.544 Mbps symmetrically, and is ideal for customers who need a high-speed reliable connectivity to the Internet or as one link in their virtual or real private network. 4 Server Colocation also offers Bonded T1’s in speeds ranging from 3Mbps to 6Mbps without the high cost of pulling in fiber.  In addition, 4 Server Colocation offers fractional T1 speeds at 128 Kbps, 256 Kbps, 384 Kbps and 768 Kbps, for users who don't need the entire amount of bandwidth offered by a full T1.

To provision the service, 4 Server Colocation works with your local telephone provider to provision a "local loop" between your premises and the nearest central office (CO). From this CO, your data is transported on a state-of-the-art optical network to 4 Server Colocation’s nearest Internet Protocol (IP) switch. From the IP switch, your data is either routed directly to the Internet or kept within a private network for internal communication with your business’ other branch offices and/or telecommuters.

Why purchase a T1 when SDSL is so much cheaper?

4 Server Colocation offers Symmetrical Digital Subscriber Line (SDSL) service at comparable speeds but much lower prices than our full and fractional T1 service. What's the difference between these two products?

For comparison purposes, we will examine the differences between a 1.5 Mbps SDSL line with a full 1.5 MbpsT1 dedicated Internet access line. Not all customers can receive 1.5 Mbps SDSL service, but all customers in serviced Central Offices can receive 4 Server Colocation T1 Service. Because of technical limitations of the DSL protocol, only those customers less than 10,000 feet from their CO can receive 1.5 Mbps SDSL. However, T1s are engineered to extend tens of miles, so almost all customers of a serviced CO can purchase T1 service. In addition, the local exchange carrier must remove bridge taps, load coils, and wiring when provisioning DSL. This work is not necessary for a T1 circuit.

T1 has been an industry standard for decades. Although SDSL and T1s are about equally reliable, the local exchange carriers have more experience in trouble-shooting and repairing T1s. This means the time it takes to repair a T1 line is generally much shorter than that for a DSL circuit.

T1 circuits are transported over a more robust channel. DSL is designed to be a lower-cost alternative to the more traditional data communications products, such as Frame Relay and T1s. One of the ways this lower cost is achieved is by having DSL circuits share more of the data transport infrastructure. With 1.5 Mbps SDSL, your data traffic shares the connection with other DSL circuits running at slower speeds. On the other hand, the infrastructure behind 4 Server Colocation’s T1 Service is dedicated to transporting only T1 traffic.

What do I need to use 4 Server Colocation’s T1 Service?
