"Getting What You Pay For From
Your Fractional Internet Service Provider"
In your search for a full or fractional Internet service
provider, there are some pitfalls to be avoided. If you are
unfamiliar with the lingo used in the telecommunications
service industry, you could find that you are getting far less
than you needed, or even anticipated.
If you are looking at increasing the telecommunications
capabilities of your business through either a full or
fractional Internet service provider, you might want to
consider talking to an agent or a broker to help you sort
through and understand just what it is that you are getting for
your business dollar.
Some of the "less than honest" T-1 service
providers out there may not offer you the t-1 dedicated service
that you are expecting. Some of these telecommunications
service providers will oversell the T-1
lines to multiple customers and hope that the service is
not accessed at the same time.
This can reduce your transmission power down to the DSL
product level. If you are looking at moving up to a full or
fractional T1
Internet service provider, pay attention to the Service
Level Agreements (SLA), that will tell you exactly what access
services you are supposed to be getting. Make sure that you are
truly getting what you are paying for.
