It wasn’t until the late 1990s when the demand for T1 internet services soared higher. Businesses needed faster connectivity for file transfer, online data storage and even video conferencing. T1 prices became more competitive, falling to reasonable prices that increased the consumers among small to medium sized industries.

Fundamentally, a T1 line connection is delivered to and from the T1 service providers without combining it with the connection of other users. This dedicated service is the advantage of the the T1 internet service over ISDN and DSL, whose speeds depend on the number of the users on a particular area. Aside from the basic service, T1 prices include installation charge, the monthly fee for the rental of the wire of the local phone company. Of course, T1 prices also depend on the T1 service providers you’re planning to acquire.

A fractional T1 line refers to an Internet circuit that uses only a "fraction" of a full-speed T1. These are used for telephone lines or even integrated T1’s, but less for Internet access. Unless one is on a tight budget, the service of fractional T1 service providers are not as competitive as of full T1, whose prices have been dropping significantly. A PRI (Primary Rate Interface) boasts of advanced calling features, like digital inward dial that maximizes number of simultaneous calls, and a digital transmission that provides clear reception. A PRI T1 line cost is relatively lower than other T1 types and thus, making it a suitable choice for most businesses.

T1 line of the VoIP variety maximized bandwidth in a telecommunications environment. Because it eliminates “dead” times when no one is using the bandwidth and infrastructures are more reliable, it is more cost-efficient. Lastly, Point to Point (P2P) T1 do not provide T1 connectivity and/or telephone lines but as a conduit for both. P2P allows sharing of Internet access within corporations, or within different businesses in a particular small area. While it is not a cheap T1 line, it is a sound investment because of its private, secure and dedicated connection.

Lastly, Integrated T1 Line is one of the most lucrative connectivity solutions for small to medium-sized businesses because of its local and long-distance telephone service, and efficient bandwidth on a single connection. Because the service and installation are ingeniously consolidated under one provider, you can be assured that this is a cheap T1 connection.

Getting that T1 internet service might appear intimidating enough for anyone who’s getting his hands on it for the first time. But if you know the right T1 line connection for your needs, you're sure than you can get the best efficiency and connectivity for your business.
