Fractional T1 is available to virtually all businesses in the US. Another advantage of fractional T1 is that it is far more stable and reliable than DSL, and is often provided with a service level agreement which guarantee it’s reliability. For these reasons, fractional T1 is most popular with small businesses for which it is essential to have a very reliable communications line, and/or which need high speed internet but are beyond the reach of DSL. Fractional T1 lines are commonly confused with burstable T1
and integrated T1 (can provide multiple services over one T1 line), but actually have different capabilities. Integrated T1 can be provided over a fractional t1 circuit for business which do not have the need or budget for full integrated T1. For example, a half of a T1, 768 k can carry any combination of twelve channels of voice or internet service. It is important to note however, that because a provider must install a full t1, then block channels to cut it back to the desired fractional service, that fractional T1 prices, are not proportional to full T1 prices. Fractional T1 service at 768 k and above, is often nearly as expensive, or at times more expensive than full T1. With the pricing tool, at the top of this page, you can determine in real-time, prices and availability for any bandwidth of fractional T1 for your business. Pricing and availability tool is simple to use, and there is no obligation.
