A cheap T1 line may cost from $250 to S1,500 per month depending on the phone company and where your T1 line goes. T1 needs to be connected to an internet service provider (ISP) to operate. Total costs include the phone company’s installation and monthly fees and ISP charges. It is one of the broadband internet connections recommended for small to large-scale business.

Cost factors
Different T1 providers consider a number of cost factors and will offer different service levels depending on where you are. In the world wide web can be found a list of them, usually providing respective quotes. Cheap T1 costs vary based on mileage, state tariffs, discount structures, available capacity, market competition and location.

After narrowing down the best choice, you just usually need to sign some forms and set up appointments for installation. Better yet, if you want to save, you may probably check out the vendor directly for off-retail quotes.

Voice or data channels
T1 can be used for voice or data channels. It can be split into 24 digitized voice channels or it can also carry data up to a maximum speed of 1.544Mbps, depending on permutations.

Advantages over other connections
If you are running a business and needs to run a website, T1 has advantages over other connections. Even a cheap T1 line can transmit a minimum of 192Kbps, or 60 times faster than the average home modem. It is also more reliable than the analog modem. Since T1 is a dedicated line, steady internet connection can be expected 24/7.

Also, a T1 line is more comfortable to use in web serving than DSL and cable. T1 is asynchronous, meaning upload and download rates are the same, unlike DSL and cable. DSL has fast download rates but has slower upload rates, while cable has variable download and upload rates depending on the time of the day.
