The world isn't called a global village for nothing. Thanks to communication technology, ocean squares and mountain ranges are now passable. The World Wide Web has allowed us to interact with more cultures and more societies than ever before. Europeans took several voyages to discover America. But now, alas, several minutes are enough to talk to someone in Manila if you’re from San Francisco.

With a powerful T1 connection, this immense power of global connectivity is more realizable through the special fiber optic line. It is denser, transferring information at an amazing rate of approximately 200,000 bytes per second. Compared to the modem, whether it's external or internal, that is as old as Methuselah, its fiber optic technology shields it from the elements. And you can share the connection with a hundred more computers in your office building without sacrificing the burst-speeds for the online conference with your European business partners.

T1 line cost is predominantly based on the distance of the local loop and the distance from the customer's site to a local gateway. Moreover, T1 line cost is dependent on the T1 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 line cost is a combination of the prices that the phone company and the service provider charges.

There are two basic T1 connections that are flexiblw to any kind of function and any kind of institution. Fractional T1, with increments of speed of 64 kbps, is priced approximately $100-200. Standard T1 connection, with increments of speed of 1.544 Mbps, connects a local area network (LAN) to the Internet or the carrier's network. For this type of connection, T1 line cost starts around a $400 for a stable, reliable system and a quotation for an additional router is usually necessary.

The latest technology has always been equated with price. But as demands go up, it is expected that the prices will eventually go down for it to become consumer-friendly. The outright T1 line cost (for initial installation) shouldn't be a problem because it will be surely worth it once you have maximized its use for the expansion of your business.
