“When the top T1 providers must compete for your business, you win!”

Deciding which T1 provider can best serve a customer can be a complex process.

T1 prices are significantly affected by the distance the customer is from the facilities of the provider. (For more about T1 providers please click here)

T1 Providers Continued.

As a general rule, the closer the customer is to the provider’s point of presence (PoP), the lower the price with be for their T1 service. The farther the customer is from the PoP of a provider, the higher the price will be. T1 service can be very expensive in rural isolated areas. It is also important to note that there are several types of T1 service. These include internet, local voice, long distance voice, integrated, bonded, fractional, fractional integrated, channelized integrated, dynamic integrated, frame relay, MPLS (multiprotocol label switching), point-to-point and frame relay. Most T1 providers will specialize in a few of these types of T1, but many can not offer all of them.

VoIP and the Importance of QoS

Written by: Dennis Green - Sep 8, 2008

VoIP (voice over internet protocol) services are becoming increasingly available as tier 1 providers are now embracing this technology to improve their voice offerings. Quotes vary depending on the type of VoIP you are seeking. One of the most important elements related to VoIP pricing relates to quality of service (QoS). There are several levels of QoS. To ensure ideal voice quality with VoIP, QoS must be present at every junction throughout the service provider’s network, until the call reaches the public switched telephone network (PSTN). This ensures that voice packets receive priority over other types of data. Where QoS is not present, voice packets have no priority over other forms of data. This often results in latency and jitter. Latency and jitter negatively impact voice quality. Most tier 1 providers can now ensure QoS throughout their systems. This costs money however, thus tier 1 VoIP quotes are often a bit higher priced then VoIP services which utilize the public internet. Internet VoIP can often offer the many valuable features sought by end users, and lower phone costs, such as $45 per month for unlimited long distance service to the continental US and Canada. However, QoS cannot be assured across the public internet. So although an end user can control the QoS throughout their local network, once voice packets reach the internet, QoS can no longer be assured, so voice quality is inconsistent. If call quality with your customers is mission critical to your business, it is advised that whenever possible, obtain a VoIP service which is provided by the same provider that is providing the bandwidth. Then as an extra precaution, it would be wise to require the provider to confirm that they provide and control QoS throughout their system, until each call is transferred to the PSTN.
