The whole thing's on the Internet does not make sense for most companies. That includes too often those who should understand the best. The computer support staff, in-house "computer guy", or diamonds. But the key person in need of an education is the decision maker. That person who ultimately decide which solution your company will choose. This is for "them."
Remember that the complex network services are as a Trojan horse. If the boss gives you a "solution" as the price looks good ..... the staff is left to face the consequences.
Hey ... you have been tempted by the siren song of the price. Woooooo ~~~~~ ~~ V 3rd low price. Woooooo ~~~~~ ~~ V 3rd top speed. Uhhhh Ohhhh ~~~ long-term contract. Uhhhh Ohhhh ~~~ bad service, support, maintenance and billing! And Uhhhh Ohhhh ~~~ time to update your resume.
We understand for example that a T1 connection usually has a very strict SLA (Service Level Agreement), which cable and DSL does not. With the number of existing T1 circuits and the number of years that were available, (and the number of intelligent sockets abandoned at the customers), you Are adapted to be frustrated that is significantly more expensive to install a T1 is to install a DSL circuit .
you might as well believe that if the actual physical costs (barring any repeating for long distances) are basically the same as DSL, so if you relax the SLA, because T1 circuits can not be used to provide Internet where DSL does not go?
She is also likely to be confused because you can get a business circuit 15/3 by a cable provider for about $ 150 / mo and the same home circuit is about $ 80. In what is another trap. Do not get off track trying to compare a professional level line with a residential circuit. This is like comparing apples and watermelons.
is the higher cost of a T1 circuit (or the bandwidth DS3 and so on) a matter of state tariffs mandate? It 'a matter of ISP that protect their profits with air of exclusivity?
No ..... Now you're buying into conspiracy theory excuse.
This can be especially migraine-inducing if activity is one of those bandwidth orphans, stuck in Boonieville, United States. you can not use satellite without cutting down big trees. You can not obtain reasonable cellular coverage, even if you are willing to live with the 5GB limit. you do not have WiFi and there is no DSL. All that is available in 45K dialup. Now that would really suck.
We have been waiting for for BPL (bandwidth more than three years on power lines), which apparently is still a work-in-progress. For example's sake let's say that may have been quoted to say $ 850 last year for a full T .... with some less competitive prices above $ 1000
One can also there they are bouncing signals off satellites, trying to run IP over high-power electrical lines and wireless signals bounce off of towers, when the rural internet coverage answer may be sitting on a small circuit in demarc room.
Now that is really to reach .... and too simple an argument. The facts simply do not support this reasining line.
I can see where one might think that the problem with the bandwidth in the boonies is by ourselves.
But here is the "education" is needed to get through all this cloud cover. The facts .... no excuses and conspiracy theories.
DSL and cable services have in common. Bandwidth is shared in residential neighborhoods, and is often oversold. So many customers are paying for a limited resource, and the price at the bottom detail is the result. Even the plant in your residential area is shared .... the actions cable TV connection, DSL and rides on a line of voice grade analog.
The downside is that T1 is a dedicated service (such as DS3 bandwidth and Ethernet business for example). The circuit is designed as a digital circuit, special repeaters may be necessary if you are away from headquarters, and does not share the bandwidth with other subscribers.
If you want to talk about always thrown under the bus companies, just talk to any independent bandwidth consultant who earn their living by saving frustrated customers DSL and cable with a T1 service (or any other solution width dedicated bandwidth). Certainly not all DSL and cable via the customer is disappointed, but there are enough of them to support a thriving industry.
You must understand that the cost of the physical plant is irrelevant. Only the price to you is relevant. And the price to you for a T1 Internet is almost always depends only on the distance from your central office for a carrier POP (Point of Presence) .... and almost never depends on the distance from your location to the local exchange.
laps DSL on a line of voice grade analog. T1 is a dedicated service. The circuit is designed as a digital circuit, special repeaters may be necessary if you are away from headquarters. Regardless of SLAs and oversold width of upstream / dedicated bandwidth, the wires for T1 and DSL are configured differently.
I can not speak for the costs ILEC to themselves when they sell a T1, but any CLEC is going to pay $ X for an unconditional copper pair for DSL and $ Y for a loop condition (or loops, depending on how it is delivered) for dedicated circuits.
On top of that, DSL is terminated in a DSLAM which is, compared to conventional equipment TDM "telco", way, way cheaper. Old school marching telco for termination circuits T1, T3 and OC is a completely different world with crazy prices, and hopefully, reliability. This stuff is built to meet certain standards and it's all for the reliability 5-9 that the DSL gear simply is not.
Then there is the installation and maintenance, which may involve the installation of repeaters, picking the appropriate technology (eg traditional T1, DSL-based solutions - so many T1 around "DSL" but not the cheap stuff), the planning of the circuit and possibly new construction, in some cases dropping a fiber Mux building.
in the course you are paying for the reliability of the line and a completely different level types of people for maintenance.
This is just the same circuit, I'm not even enter the handoff to the ISP and any oversubscription issues. Even structure / ATM services over T1 where you are agreeing to go on a half "shared" is going to be more than cable or DSL because of the underlying T1 line connecting with the provider.
But one thing that is a huge factor in the price is the fact that because it is a line of "business-grade", the ALS providers require their techs to respond to interruptions "within hours x "(usually 4 hours). Meaning if you run a business and your t1 exits at 11 pm, a technician ILEC will be on-site (or the Connect dialog Cross) to 03:00. ILEC build that cost into monthly price .... while shared / best effort services (eg DSL, cable) to say "within 24-48 hours" to solve the problem (if you're lucky), and you're on the same queue sending as the guy down the street who complains because his porn is downloading slow.
Keep in mind that the cost of copper and the equipment to support the digital circuit (dedicated bandwidth) is nothing compared to the cost of the material a truck after midnight with a technology line for your location in order solve the problem . And, if it is a problem outside the demarc (which is usually the case), you do not pay for the correction. It 'a matter of ILEC .... which means "someone * did pay that kind of go out there, just not you.
The bottom line is this.
If you are seriously your business needs of Internet and understand the importance of having clients top notch service to go with it, you need to go with a carrier with a reputation for great customer service. dedicated bandwidth is a very cost effective solution for any business that understands the difference from DSL and cable. Just be aware that the lowest price means you rarely the best service or quality. Why in the world internet connection, most of the time, you get what you pay for.
