T1, T3, OC3 and Dedicated Service Glossary - Explanation of Terms!
DS-0 (Digital Signal Level 0) - A non-switched dedicated service that can be provisioned as a private line point-to-point and multi-point service. Designed for full duplex transmission of voice, analog data and digital signals transmitting at speeds of 56 KBPS. The circuit is BI-directional and can move information in both directions.
A home telephone line is normally a DS-0 line. You can get 56 KBPS of data or voice through a regular phone line. The DS-0 is the "building block" of dedicated products.

DS-1 (Digital Signal Level 1) - The terms "DS-1" or "DS1" and "T1" are often used interchangeably. Strictly speaking, T1 means the physical components used in DS1 service: wires, repeaters, plugs and jacks, etc. DS1 is the electrical signal carried on a T1 circuit. A T1 is simply 24 DS-O circuits all bundled together into one circuit.
DS-1 service provides a dedicated connection from your premises to a local or long distance switch, providing you with a single high-capacity digital circuit for voice or data applications. With a DS-1, there is a choice of allocating all of the DS-0 channels for data, for voice, or for any combination of the two. A carrier's implementation may limit this choice.
For super high-speed Internet Access, you can allocate ALL 24 channels to data, giving a two-way connection to the Internet at 1.544 MBPS! (Typical DSL accounts run between 128KBPS and 728KBPS.) DS-1 Internet connections typically range from $300 to $1000 per month, depending on the geographical distance between the customer and the long distance switch. Customers who will benefit from T1 data connections are typically businesses who need very high speed internet connections to transact business, communicate electronically with other offices, and who either do not qualify for DSL service or need more speed and increased reliability than DSL can offer.
Businesses with 12-24 phone lines typically rely heavily on DS-1 voice service. Since there are 24 DS-O circuits bundled together on one T-1 circuit, you can have 24 phone lines connected to the local or long distance carrier at the same time. Any number of the total 24 channels (circuits) can be set up as:
- Outbound only - for 1+ dialing
- 800-inbound only - for incoming toll free calls
- BI-directional - for both incoming and outcoming calls
T1 Voice, however, has two costs associated with it: 1. The Local Loop, and 2. Long Distance Usage (LDU). The Local Loop is the flat fee for your connection to the telephone switch. There usually is an installation charge and a Monthly Recurring Charge (MRC). Typically the MRC is in the $250 to $500 range - the actual value is a function of geographic location relative to the carrier's T1 switch. The Long Distance Usage (LDU) is a separate charge in addition to the local loop. LDU rates for dedicated accounts are usually 10-40% less than regular switched long distance rates. Interstate rates have recently been in the 2 to 3 cent per minute range.

The last DS-0 channel is sometimes used to handle other applications, such as a connection with the local telephone network or routing to a hold queue until 1 of the 23 channels opens up. Call Centers are the most frequent users of PRI Voice Service. This T1 PRI service leaves 23 voice channels.
Integrated T1 ( Bundled Voice and Internet ) Service
Integrated T1 service is just what the name implies: both voice and data traffic on the same T1. Since you have 24 channels (23 with PRI) to work with, you can divide up the load according to the business need. For example, a firm may allocate 8 DS-0 lines for Voice, and 16 DS-0 lines for Internet Access. In this example, the firm could handle 8 simultaneous calls while surfing the web at a speed of 1024 KBPS. Each supplier has specific numbers of channels that they can supply for voice on each T1.
Point-to-Point T1 Service
If your organization requires constant connectivity to another office location, you should consider Point-to-Point T1 service. This is the same as regular T1 service, except now you have a Local Loop on 2 ends instead of just 1. This increases the cost of the monthly recurring local loop charge, but calls (or data transfer) between these two points is unlimited, with full T1 duplex speed(1.5 MBPS).
Frame Relay is for offices with 2 or more locations that require constant connectivity. Unlike Point-to-Point, you can select sub-T1 speeds between each satellite location and the main office (or Host). This reduces cost and allows for future upgrades in speed on an as-needed basis.
After you get your online quote.You Can have a member of our sales team contact you to discuss the details of the T1 connection, confirm pricing, and assist you with the signup process.
DS-3 (or T-3) service consists of 28 T1s giving a total bandwidth of 44.736 Mbps or a total of 672 voice channels.
Dedicated service using a fraction of the full T1 capacity.
"Burstable T1" works much like Fractional and Full T1, but the bandwidth is not dedicated; it is provided "on demand" and may be a little cheaper. Currently, we find that those organizations that do offer Burstable service seem to charge more than a customer would pay for Fractional or Full T1 service at a capacity around the high end of the Burstable offering.
A member of our sales team will contact you to discuss the details of the T1 connection, confirm pricing, and assist you with the signup process. Our patented GeoQuote software and our trained consultants are here to help you find the lowest possible price, guaranteed.

Top Reasons to Shop With Us
In the past, shopping for T1 lines meant doing the research yourself. Recently, agents who specialize in high speed DS1 (T1) and DS3 (T3) lines have popped up to volunteer to do this research for you, by hand, in less than 7 days. If you are looking to price out bandwidth and routers for your WAN or LAN network in less than a week, you would fine nothing but frustration and eventually high prices. You perform a search in your favorite search engine and you see millions of pages, all of which claim to save you money. In reality what your are seeing are a bunch of internet marketing entrepreneurs who know little about dedicated service at all. They create simple HTML forms that look like they have been programmed by a seventh grade student which captures your information, and either sends it to every vendor in the universe or some in-house former used-car salesman who will sell you whatever will pay him the biggest bonus. The internet is littered with this garbage, confusing customers and leaving a sour taste in their collective mouth. What started out as a search for competitively priced dedicated services has turned into a circus!
Rolling Up Our Sleeves to Provide Information Quickly
In 2002 my partner, Adam Edwards, and I decided to take the road less traveled. We realized early on that in order to create an online experience that was worthy of your time, we needed to provide information you can use - not your typical "enter your information here and we'll get back to you" elementary page. In order to do this, we invested a full year researching all of the different T1 providers in order to understand their pricing models, many of which were created long before we were born. Based on information we extracted from this research, we invested heavily in complex programming that would allow us to calculate loop prices, or the cost that the local phone companies pass on to the dedicated service providers for access to their network. This cost varies by mile, by market, and by geographic region of the country. Once we rolled up our sleeves and performed extensive testing, we called our product 'GeoQuote' and released it to the public on this very web site in 2003. We are currently in the process of patenting this unique technology.

Technical Note
A technical quick note about the CSU/DSU, which is made as a separate product or is sometimes part of a T-1 WAN card. The Channel Service Unit - CSU - converts the data from and to the WAN line into a format the router can understand. The DSU provides an interface to the data terminal equipment (DTE) using a standard (EIA/CCITT) interface. The unit likewise provides testing capabilities.
