T1, OC3 and DS3 lines by Jeff Dumovich

What is T3 line? (Often called a “DS-3″ line)

A T3 or DS-3 line is a dedicated private line that only you and your organization have access to A T-3 line is the ideal solution for large companies that have a need for even larger amounts of bandwidth. A T3 circuit can normally be utilized by thousands of users simultaneously. It’s a dedicated circuit that provides 45Mbps of bandwidth at blinding speeds. As a point of comparison to a T-1 line a T-3 has the carrying capacity of 28 T1s. You could also think of it as over 672 64kbps channels.

T-3 Service and Prices

If a T1 service isn’t enough to meet your needs, you can choose from the Tier 1 service providers’ comprehensive T3 (DS3) service options.

Why do you need a Tier Provider? As a bandwidth consumer, getting all of the throughput that you need is essential. You don’t want to share your connection and you want guaranteed speed. Getting directly connected to a Tier 1 Internet backbone will provide this for you.

Many providers may sell you “internet access”, but you need to know who they are buying their access from and how many “hops” it takes to get you onto the net. As an example, your local ISP may buy access from the LEC (Local Exchange Carrier) who in turn may buy from Wiltel, who in turn may buy access from Cable & Wireless. That is three hops before data even reaches the net! And the original provider may have oversubscribed the line by up to 350%. This is an all too common situation which can leave you with a fraction of the bandwidth that you have bought.

You don’t need that. Let me get you directly connected to the internet at blindingly fast speeds and with no intermediary steps.
