What Is A T1 Line?

Written by: Mike Fedeli - Oct 13, 2008

A T1 connection is a dedicated line directly from your business to the phone company. This line can support 24 seperate voice lines or be broken up to provide voice and data communications, such as high speed internet. T1's are known for being a very reliable connection and most come with a Service Level Agreement that guarantees at least 99.9% up time. In recent years the price of a T1 line has dropped dramatically. Only a few years ago they were off limits to small business due to the costs involved. The largest growth we are now seeing in the T1 market is with small and medium size businesses. As large businesses require more and more bandwidth many are moving to larger capacity circuits such as T3 lines, which is the equivilant of 28 T1s.
