"Getting What You Pay For From Your Fractional Internet Service Provider"

T1 Rates for both T1 Voice and Data

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.
