| Re: Article t 5 ?
Did I miss a new level of service there ? I though oc are the next step up from a t-3 / ds-3.
Btw T1 prices are only 250 a month now and falling fast. t1 with an sla can be had for $250 but if you turn down the sla they can go as cheap as $99.

»www.t1market.com/ is the fastest look up service i know of but any call to the csr's in their respective business divisions and you will get a decent quote in 10 min max.

| Re: Article said by BosstonesOwn :Call sbc or qwest. at this point they are quoting well below 250 if you are even remotely close to any co with a decent pop. You obviously havent been T1 shopping recently.
Tariff price on a loop is somewhere around 250 in the state of Texas. Add data charges to this, you easily get to 500. SBC quoted me just the other day at 545 plus tax.
It doesnt matter if you are close to a CO, within a POP, or anything like that. The monthly cost of a dedicated hi-cap line is pretty much the same across the board. There isnt much of a change between prices.
Its the installation costs that will get you. If you live in the boonies, you can get a T-1 provided the equipment is installed and they have a backhaul to a POP. Most do. Digging up and laying down a loop might cost you a small fortune though. | |

DS4 T4 274.176 4032
Those are all I have access to from every isp in north america. Oc links are pure optical so they don't show as an option for t's.
I would imagine a t5 would just be another wave of tdm but I have honestly never seen them even on some of the major phone links here.
Ironically Europe offers E-1 to E-4 in same structure just not same throughput and capacity as us t's.

| Re: Article Got it. It's just that I've been doing telecom and data for 23 years and would hate to find out I missed something along the way. And yes, a lot of countries outside the US use E circuits. A lot of fun when converting between the standards.
Thanx for the info  .

The loop is additional, based on distance.

Thats weird Today i installed 2 t-1 to a tower in central mass and a t-3 to western mass tower and the quotes and prices we got were much lower then that. t3 to a mountain tower was 2750 with local loop. and the t's as back up were 275
