Los Angeles DS3 Prices

Are you searching for a Los Angeles DS3 Price? Bandwidth has never been cheaper and Los Angeles is no exception to this. Many telecom companies built out their infrastructure in Metro cities and with the crash that has taken place since 1999 many of these companies have seen the usage of their pipes decrease significantly. The infrastructure that was laid is a fixed cost that companies are eager to recover. The result of the reduced number of businesses in the market seeking service and the drop in pricing has created a buyers market.

In a buyers market remember that you can push and probably get concessions from the DS3 carrier but also remember that all carriers are not created equally. Many carriers may appear to offer a bargain price but you may be several hops from the internet and have a problem with latency. You may also be using a small carrier that hasn't actually checked the capacity of the CO before you sign your contract and can't even deliver the service they promised. The only way you'll discover this is when you start using your connection and find that at peak traffic times your connection is bogged down at a level below that which was guaranteed.

We suggest when dealing with a larger pipe you consider the larger Tier 1 providers. You can still get a great price even though it's not as low as some of the Tier 2 and Tier 3 companies. You'll also have the peace of mind knowing that you have an SLA and the company will deliver what you believe you will get. If you're in the market for a DS3 line, communications are vital to your company. Make sure you get both a reliable product and the price you're looking for.

T1 Bandwidth Provider Low Price Guarantee

August 2005 Bandwidth Special Deal: A Tier-1 Carrier is offering Full T1 line in Houston, Texas including router and zero installation cost for $400 per month on a 1, 2 or 3 year contract!

In brief, ShopForT1.net is an agent for about a dozen of the nation's Top Tier (Tier 1) and First Tier carriers. Read that again -- we are an agent for them, which is different from a VAR or a reseller. A VAR or a reseller frequently marks up the prices that are given to them by the carriers, or gets their commission from the customer. ShopForT1.net is very different from that model -- these carriers already guarantee that the prices offered to ShopForT1.net customers are the LOWEST price that that carrier will offer for that circuit at that location. This is the basis of our Low Price Guarantee -- if a customer gets a lower price from one of our carriers for the same circuit on the same terms, we do two things: (1) we match that price, and (2) we pay 20% of the customer's first month's bill, up to $500. That is a powerful guarantee and we put it in writing with every proposal that is sent to a customer.

Many customers I've talked with wanted "verification" of that; i.e., "you mean with a couple of mouse clicks, my address and phone number, I am simultaneously shopping amongst about a dozen top carriers that can provide service to my area, and you guarantee that those are the best prices those carriers will offer for that circuit?"

Our Low Price Guarantee: If you find cheaper price anywhere else we'll match that price and pay YOU up to $500 cash back when you buy through ShopForT1.net!

ShopForT1.net guarantees that our discounted service plans will not be beaten by anyone - not by our vendors direct and not by competitors who resell these same vendors.

T1 carriers offer superb pricing on intrastate point-to-point circuits. This is a T1 that does not touch the Internet, but simply connects point A to point B. There are many industries that use point to point circuits -- probably one of the most prominent examples is banks. The bank branch office is connected to the bank headquarters office via a point-to-point circuit to transmit customer information to/from the headquarters, and since it does not go through the Internet, the customer's financial information is much more secure. Also consider hospitals communicating with their clinics spread around the city or state, transmitting a patient's medical information to/from the main hospital. Such circuits can be offered in any state, but the states AZ, CO, CA, FL, UT, OR, TX, and WA are "blanket states" meaning that the price is the same for the circuit from ANY point in the state to any other point in that state. For example, a price of this point-to-point T1 is the same price whether it is from one side of the street to the other in Tallahassee FL (maybe 150 feet), or from Tallahassee FL to Miami FL (more like 350 miles)!

Virtual Private Networks (VPN) 101

Written by - Jeff Johnson, Staff Writer

As the VPN market approaches maturity at a brisk pace, vendors have been forced to rethink the tradition identity of their IP Security-based technology for letting users securely access enterprise resources via the Internet. Most large companies in need of linking their offices together have done so on frame relay networks. Although frame is still a useful product many users have found that the reduced cost of VPN gives them an attractive alternative.

'During the last 18 months, vendors have pushed VPN technology into different devices, have lessened the distinction between VPN and firewall products, and have demonstrated a strong willingness to deviate from standardized technology to meet corporate remote access requirements. VPN services now come bundled with many dedicated services and several service providers are using VPN products as a loss leader so they can sell circuits. When investigating the use of VPN products make sure you speak with a professional who can guide you through the strengths as well as the weaknesses of the product. While it is a cost reduced alternative to frame it is a different product and should be thoroughly researched.

One of the advantages of a VPN is that internet access is not based only on the hub and spoke layout. The users away from the hub are able to access the internet through their own connection rather than going through the hub and creating a bottleneck. Users will only need to connect through the hub if they need to access information from the central database. When researching alternatives such as VPN, like always, we recommend you consult with a professional and not just a salesman for a VPN company. Make sure the individual you speak with is unbiased and will give you the strengths and weaknesses of each product. We recommend one of the brokers at ShopforT1.net for unbiased recommendations of multiple carriers.

Let them have DSL!

Written by - Hunter Sheffield, Staff Writer

DSL has been hailed as a great solution for residential broadband needs. You may have heard this term from friends and neighbors when talking about their fast internet connection. It's true, DSL is much faster then a dial-up internet connection, but is it all it's cracked up to be?

With speeds of up to 140 times faster than dial up internet access its definitely fast but the problem is you don't always get the advertised speed. You DSL connection is highly dependant on your distance from the phone company. If you're over 5,000 feet your signal will begin to drop off and your connection will be degraded, i.e. slower speed. At about 15,000 feet from the phone company (3 miles) your signal will completely cut off.

The second problem with DSL is the fact that it's highly over subscribed. Oversubscription means that many people are pulling from the same resource. During the afternoon when people are at work there may be plenty of bandwidth to have, but in the evening when everyone is looking up the news, going through e-mail, or shopping online, access tends to be strained. Many people pulling from the same limited resource will find that there's only so much to go around. What does this mean to you? Slow speeds! It's interesting to note that DSL companies lampooned cable internet access as being shared by the neighborhood. Commercials displayed neighbors at each others throats for overusing the connection because it affected other's use. The irony of the commercials is that DSL users suffer from the same problem of common access. It's a great solution, but don't let them fool you….It's not perfect!
