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

$fractional T1$

Fractional T1 is the combination of one or more of the 24 (64 Kbps each) channels which make up a full T1 line. The most popular fractional T1 packages range between 128 kbps to 768 kbps. Fractional T1 lines are less expensive, but as the name infers, have a fraction of the capacity of a full T1 line. Because fractional T1 has the advantage of being repeater driven, it is far more available than DSL. (For more about fractional T1 please click here)

Fractional T1 Definition Continued.

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. (Click here to return to top of page)

Use Long Distance T1 and Save Money

Written by: Dennis Green - Aug 20, 2008

Long distance T1 is an excellent solution for companies which pay more than $500 per month for their long distance telephone service. $500 is provided as a break even point because a long distance T1 circuit costs between $100 and $300 per month, depending on the location of your company. Businesses which can justify the monthly reoccurring charge of a long distance circuit, will experience significantly reduced per minute charges for their domestic long distance usage. For example, businesses which use switched long distance service commonly pay between three and six cents per minute for their outgoing out of state, and incoming out of state toll free (800#) calls. With a long distance t1 circuit however, these companies can reduce these costs to a penny a minute for outgoing out-of-state calls, and 1.2 cents per minute for incoming toll free lines. There is also significant savings for in-state long distance with a long distance T1, however, specifics cannot be provided in this article due varying tariffs on in-state long distance rates, which vary in each state. These tariffs only apply to in-state long distance calls. They do not apply to out of state calls.

Each long distance T1 provides 24 phone circuits. Each long distance T1 PRI provides 23 usable voice circuits. The limitation of long distance t1 is that it does not facilitate free local calling. If free local calls are needed, then local voice T1 might be a better option. If the majority of a company's calls are long distance, then integrated local and long distance t1 might be preferable, or a long distance T1 in conjunction with a few POTS (Plain old telephone service) lines.
