Fractional T1

“When the top T1 providers must compete for your business, you win!”

$fractional T1$

Fractional T1 is the combination of one or more of the 24 (64 Kbps each) channels which make up a full T1 line. The most popular fractional T1 packages range between 128 kbps to 768 kbps. Fractional T1 lines are less expensive, but as the name infers, have a fraction of the capacity of a full T1 line. Because fractional T1 has the advantage of being repeater driven, it is far more available than DSL. (For more about fractional T1 please click here)

Fractional T1 Definition Continued.

Fractional T1 is available to virtually all businesses in the US. Another advantage of fractional T1 is that it is far more stable and reliable than DSL, and is often provided with a service level agreement which guarantee it’s reliability. For these reasons, fractional T1 is most popular with small businesses for which it is essential to have a very reliable communications line, and/or which need high speed internet but are beyond the reach of DSL. Fractional T1 lines are commonly confused with burstable T1 and integrated T1 (can provide multiple services over one T1 line), but actually have different capabilities. Integrated T1 can be provided over a fractional t1 circuit for business which do not have the need or budget for full integrated T1. For example, a half of a T1, 768 k can carry any combination of twelve channels of voice or internet service. It is important to note however, that because a provider must install a full t1, then block channels to cut it back to the desired fractional service, that fractional T1 prices, are not proportional to full T1 prices. Fractional T1 service at 768 k and above, is often nearly as expensive, or at times more expensive than full T1.

T3 or DS3?

Written by: Dennis Green - Jul 24, 2008

In the context of telecommunications, the terms T3 and DS3 are often used synonymously to describe a 45 mbps (megabits per second) circuit. A T3/DS3 is the equivalent of 28 T1s. People who are more technically inclined will often refer to DS3 when they are talking about the configuration of the circuit, and T3 if they are referring to the physical connection which carries the circuit. Most people, however, use both terms interchangeably. T3/DS3 is used for carrying both voice (in the form of data) and data traffic. T3/DS3 is commonly used for larger point-to-point circuits, MPLS (multiprotocol label switching), Virtual Private Networks (VPN), internet traffic, call centers, and videoconferencing. To check availability or pricing for any T3 related services, please use the pricing tool located at the top of this page. It is easy to use, free, and without obligation.
