Communication technology should be credited for making geographical boundaries easily to penetrate. It allows us to interact with more societies than ever before. If China took three dynasties to discover the Southeast Asia, it now takes us three minutes to watch the streaming Live AIDS concert in Paris for free.

Any T1 connection can boast of its specialized fiber optic cable. It is denser, transferring information at an amazing rate of about 192,000 bytes per second. Compared to the unreliable dial-up modem (which is so 90s), it is also extremely dependable because of its multi-layered strength and durability from different elements. And you can share the connection with a several more servers and computers without halting the astonishing speed - and this wouldn't even be a problem to your T1 service providers.

T1 cost is definitely in the three-digit zone, but surely anything more than that would not be worth your buck. Distance of the local loop and the distance from the customer's site to a gateway plays a great deal on the price. Most importantly, T1 cost is dependent on the service provider and the source of the connection. A line needs to be connected to a local internet service provider and thus, the total T1 cost is a combination of the prices that the phone company and the service provider decides to charge, inclusive of labor andinstallation expenses.

Fractional T1, in increments of 64 kbps, starts at around $100-250 for a good, stable connection. Standard T1 connection, in increments of 1.544 Mbps, connects a local area network to the World Wide Web or the carrier's network. For this type of connection, T1 cost starts around a $400 for a stable, reliable system and a quotation for an additional router is necessary. Like cable modem, wireless LAN or a DSL connection, take note that T1 service providers set a proportion; T1 cost increases proportionally as distance from the providers increases.

Connectivity has a high premium in this modern society. But like acquiring any type of investment, whether it’s real estate, a vehicle or a piece of jewelry, know the specification that you want, and the purpose that you want for it. Armed with the right information, you’ll be able to make the most out of your green buck.
