The world is becoming smaller and smaller. You’d say that it wasn’t called a global village for nothing – and population density has nothing to do with it. Through the mindbreaking innovations of communication technology, oceans, continents and mountain ranges which used to be geographical hindrances, are now virtually passable. Internet has allowed us to interact with more cultures and more societies than ever before. The Romans took several centuries the silk route in Central Asia. Now, it just takes several seconds for a Japanese to talk to someone in Buenos Aires – through a fast internet connection.

With a T1 service provider, a fiber optic line is introduced to your system. It is more compact, transmitting data at a whopping rate of about 192,000 bytes per second. Compared to the cranky dial-up modem that has been outdated for years, it is also extremely reliable to prevent shut-downs and system interruptions. And you can share the connection with a hundred more computers without sacrificing the speed of that movie trailer that you’ve been dying to watch online.

T1 service providers set the cost approximatelty several hundred dollars, and prices are largely based on the distance of the local loop, the distance from the customer's site to a gateway. Timeframes typically take 20 to 50 days and are coordinated between the local loop and the local service provider.

Cost of the T1 line depends entirely on the T1 service provider and the source of the connection. The T1 line needs to be connected to a local internet service provider and thus, the cost is a combination that the phone company and the service provider will charge.

Fractional T1, which provides in increments of 64 kbps, starts at around $100-200. Standard T1 connection, which provides a speed of 1.544 Mbps, connects LAN to the Internet or carrier's network. Cost starts around a $400 for a stable, reliable system and a router is usually necessary. For both types, take note that the T1 service provider have set a proportion for it; price climbs as distance from the providers increases.

Having the latest technology does cost a fortune. But like acquiring real estate and investments, it is important to know what you want, and how you plan to use it. This way, you can maximize the cost, power and efficiency of the benefits that the T1 service provider can give you.
