High Speed Internet
The reason you will want to look into dedicated Internet access is that
it will allow you to control your bandwidth usage. Dedicated
Internet service will create easy access to high internet speed and will ensure
that you can use DS3 lines. In addition, the entire bandwidth is used
for offsite backup of computer files overnight, when everybody is gone.
That dedicated line may also be used for a web site server and an email
server. If you encounter an internet conundrum, you can commandeer the
line or a given amount of bandwidth for a particular need, such as downloading
engineering drawings to a supplier.
It is also essential to manage your
bandwidth if you are using VoIP telephone in place of standard switched
telephone service. Dedicated Internet service will give you a private
high-speed line from your company to the Internet. This is important
because many always-on Internet connections have a bandwidth that varies
widely depending on how many other users are sharing the service. DSL,
cable and wireless Internet services are priced based on statistical multiplexing.
In other words, they are sold to many more users than would be able to get a
broadband connection if they were all on at the same time.
This is oversubscription.
You will probably get a broadband connection most of the time if you decide to
take that route for fast T1 connections. However, constant T1 connections are
not guaranteed. The statistical part of multiplexing is based on the fact that
everyone is not uploading or downloading at the same time.
How many people are actively typing on their computers at the same time?
How many are even at their desk? You do not need to allocate Mbps full time for
each employee. If you have a dozen to maybe two dozen people who need internet
access, a T1 line at 1.5 Mbps might be all you need. At any given time, a user
might think they have the line all to themselves. That may well be true for the
fraction of a second they are loading a new page.
T3 Internet may be referred to as DS3
Internet service. That's because DS3 is the digital signal level that runs on
a T3 line. DS3 may also be delivered via fiber optic cable rather than coaxial
copper cable.
When dealing with minute issues,
T3 Internet will give you the ability to run hosted VoIP service, perform faster
backups and disaster recovery, host video conferences with full motion, rapidly
transmit large engineering files or some combination of these. When T1 Internet
access is not adequate, T3 Internet will give you a massive jump in available
bandwidth. T3 line speed is 45 Mbps. That is fast enough to be the backbone for
many smaller Internet Service Providers. It is also adequate as the Internet
service for companies with hundreds to maybe a thousand employees. If you are
