A T1 is a high-speed data link protocol that has been a standard in the
telecommunications industry for more than 30 years. T1 lines are known for
their solid reliability and unbeatable performance. A full T1 transfers data
at 1.544mbps symmetrically, and is ideal for small and medium-sized business
customers who need a reliable high-speed connectivity to the Internet or an
additional link in their virtual or real private network. WorldSpice also
offers fractional T1 speeds at 256kbps, 384kbps, 512kbps, 768kbps, and 1mbps,
for users who don't need the entire amount of bandwidth offered by a full
T1.
To provision this service, WorldSpice provides a "local loop" between your
premises and the nearest central office (CO). From this CO, your data is
transported on a state-of-the-art optical network to WorldSpice's nearest point
of presence (POP). From the POP, your data is either routed directly to the
Internet or kept within a private network for internal communication with your
business' other branch offices and/or telecommuters.
