T1 mutha fuckahs

T1 Lines. Initially named after "Transmission -- Level 1" or Trunk 1, these lines are increasingly popular among small and mid-size business customers. A T1 line is a fiber-optic cable that can carry up to 24 digitalized voice channels and move data at up to 1.544 megabits per second. That’s about 60 times as fast as a residential telephone line, according to providers. To carry data, it requires the use of a router. For many small and fast-growing businesses, a T1 line can handle the broadband needs of the entire office.

Cost: Due to increased competition, T1 lines have come down in price, with a leased line now running between $250 and $500 a month for service. T1 lines are offered by telcoms, Internet service providers, and others. Online sites such as Broadbandbuyer.com offer a way to comparison-shop for prices and service.

In terms of the amount of drop-outs you get, perhaps, but speed-wise no, unless electrons here are slower than the rest of the world (which may well be possible, since everything else is).

Go to your ISP's website, check out the speed of the plan you're on. See if it's consistent with what you metered. If not, ring your ISP, ask them what's going on.

Hey Dan/Ermz - just to let you know the length of cable going from your homes port to the router itself can cause devasting effects on your speed. You need to use the shortest cable possible ideally. I've seen cases where peoples speed has literally halfed because of poor quality or lengthy cable.

I get around 6meg down and 1 meg up here- plenty for my needs for now. A shit I give not about speeds- as long as the connection is reliable with no packet loss or choking its good enough for me to be honest. Especially with no download caps, and no dips at peak times. And for £7.34 PM :lol:

...Prior to this you don't even want to know what kind of speeds were going on...

I'll tell you.



Have a nice day. :waah:

EDIT: Just saw Nebulous' results. Sorry dude. I used to have internet like that too. Had to wait for a whole youtube video to load before watching it (enjoyably).

Congrats, must feel like a hell of an improvement! I'd love to have a consistent line. I've got a 24/1 DSL deal, which in practice tops out around 16/1, gets frequent drop-outs, customer service is absolute shit (I once had to convince the tech support guy that the problem was on their side, not mine, and only after 20 minutes of arguing he agreed to check it and boom, he noticed the whole part of the city was down) and the speed waves up and down constantly.

And that's pretty much the primary reason T1 is still a great deal if you're using it for business.

Here in the US, T1 is the only tariffed commercial service by the FCC, which really just means that if your service is down, there are very specific testing and repair guidelines that have to be met, and T1 users get immediate service credits for outages. On the other side of the coin, DSL has a lower repair priority than residential phone service - so if a business with 20 people lose their DSL line, and Grandma Florence across the street from that office has a little static on her phone line, guess who gets a repair dispatch first?

DSL and cable are always "up to" services because no speeds are guaranteed due to line distance, other users in the area hogging up bandwidth, etc, while T1 is run over digitally conditioned copper so it's always guaranteed in both directions.

OK I'm done now :) I've been working for ISPs since 1997 so this subject is pretty much the only thing on this forum I can say I'm well versed in LOL!

Thanks Kev. Will try get a shorter cable for it! Couldn't make it worse...... :erk:

This tells me one thing, and I'm sure Ermz will agree: Australia je zajebana!

Haha! Uvek me iznenadi kad pišeš na srpskom. Ali to je verovatno zato što ja ovde postujem jednom godišnje... iako sam svaki dan tu. I Ermz zna Srpski?

I can't believe that you got that bad connection in Australia. Mine is shit compared to other's but it's consistent and youtube works fine... and that's enough. Can you stream stuff form youtube?
