ATT T1 Network = Reliability
Written by - Debra Johannesburg, Staff Writer
So realiability is important to you in your search for a connection? You may want to consider an ATT t1 ATT lines have one of the highest
SLA of any major carrier and the service is backed by an organization that has been in telecommunications for 113 years. If you're looking for superior quality, reliability and customer service consider buying a T1 line from ATT .
As mentioned in previous articles in the publication reliability is critical when setting up lines that will be the lifeline of your company. AT&T is among the world's premier voice, video and data communications companies, serving consumers, businesses and government. In 2000, AT&T had annual revenues of nearly $66 billion. Backed by the research and development capabilities of AT&T Labs, the company runs the world's largest, most sophisticated communications network, and is the largest cable operator in the U.S. The company is a leading supplier of data and Internet services for businesses and offers outsourcing, consulting and networking-integration to large businesses.
If you're convinced that ATT is a good solution for you but don't want to pay the price we have found another alternative. ACC Business, a division of ATT will sell the same service over the same network for a lower price! How is this possible? It's much like buying a generic brand and getting the same quality as the name brand. ACC was a reseller of ATT products until they were acquired by ATT in 1996. Now ACC provides the same ATT products under their own brand at a lower cost! If you want the security of a large company and the personable service of a small company, take a look at ACC Business.

T1 Bandwidth is Getting Cheaper!
Written by - Kiersten Thomas, Staff Writer
While many people predicted the end of price
erosion for T1
bandwidth it continues to fall. Service providers are up against
stiffer competition and are desperate for new customers to fill their pipes
and turn a profit. Are you ready to negotiate for a rock bottom price? Before
you do, consider a few of the reasons for the drop in price on T1 bandwith.
T1 bandwidth pricing had reduces as
companies have gone out of business and the large number of telecommunications
companies are fighting for a place in a smaller market. While many service
providers did have room to lose margin, many have come dangerously close to
the edge of selling circuits at a loss and many have gone beyond this point.
It seems that in the race to the bottom many providers failed to learn the
lesson that selling at a loss does not create a long lasting and healthy
company no matter how many circuits or widgets you sell. Many companies
selling at a loss have already been in bankruptcy and look like they will
repeat this exercise as they did not learn from their first go around. So,
solvency of the T1
bandwidth provider should be a consideration when looking at great
bargains.
Another consideration in bargain shopping
for T1 service is the fact that all T1's are not created equal. Many providers
are convinced (and rightly so) that customers are focused on price and are not
concerned with quality of service. Many providers are now oversubscribing T1
service connections as though they were DSL connections. This means you may
not get the bandwidth you thought you would get. Make sure when you look for
that bargain price you also reveiw the SLA (Service Level Agreement) and make
sure the contract protects you and guarantees you will get the bandwidth to
which they committed. Remember, when bargain hunting for T1 service you'll
most likely get what you pay for.
