The Need For (DS3) Speed

T3 Voice and Internet Pricing - Take Advantage of the New Special Reduced Rates

For the average computer user, it may be hard to fathom the need for DS3 speed in the terms of accessing and transmitting data. Then again, the DS3 is not for the average user.

Any business that has experienced data "bottlenecking" or slow operations in their network and Internet access would be among the most appreciative of the benefits of DS3 speed. Even the average Internet user (which equates to potential business customer) who has had to wait to access web pages on slower server connections may come to the same appreciation.

To get a basic concept of the difference this can make, think back to the days when Internet access was done strictly through low baud-rate modems that connected to a local Internet Service Provider (ISP).

 Remember how long it would take to get anything accomplished? This is similar to what some businesses are experiencing as the numbers of their grow, and those numbers add their data access needs to already full lines. It bogs the system down, slowing it to a crawl, creating downtime and non-productivity for employees while they wait for the system to catch up.

What difference can DS3 speed provide?

The speed of a DS3 line is equivalent to that of 28 DS1s (or T1s), which is the access rate used by many mid-sized, expanding businesses today. Think about it. This would mean 28 times the current digital access computing power.

In terms of telecommunication services access, this equates to 672 channels of data moving at any one given moment in time, or technically speaking, 44.736 Megabits per second (Mbps). Because of the digital age, in order for business to succeed, it has to meet and often exceed the demands of its customers. DS3 speed helps today's businesses to do just that.
