What is a T1?

A T1 is a dedicated high-speed digital connection providing total bandwidth of 1.544 Mbps. T1 lines are a popular option for businesses connecting to the Internet. While T1 leased lines are more expensive than DSL or satellite, they are more stable and generally support a higher number of users.

A T1 transfers data between two points at 1.544 Mbps symmetrically, and is ideal for customers who need a high-speed connectivity to the Internet or as one link in their virtual or real private network. A T1 connection provides roughly 60 times more data than a normal residential modem. It is also extremely reliable, much more reliable than an analog modem. Depending on what they are doing, a T1 line can generally handle quite a few people. For general browsing, hundreds of users are easily able to share a T1 line comfortably. Most small Internet providers have a T1 (or a fractional T1) line as their connection to the Internet. In addition, a T1 connection is a dedicated link and unlike ISDN and analog modem connections, the T1 connection is up 24 hours a day. Interested in a T1 line for your company?
