Fractional T1

Fractional T1

A fractional T1 line allows a business to use a portion of a T1 line's capacity and pay a proportional share of the T1 line's cost.

A T1 line is a dedicated line running from the phone company's central office to the location of the business. The price of a T1 line depends mostly on the its length--that is, the distance from the central office to the business. If there are several business in the area that can share the capacity of the T1 line, each can beneift by sharing the cost of the T1 line.

If there are no other businesses that can share to cost of the T1 line, then the cost of a "fractional T1" line is often the same as the cost of a full T1 line.

Understanding T1

If your business has more than 8 phone lines or more than $750 in telecom billing you should consider a T1 line.

A digital T1 line is equivalent to 24 normal external (analog) phone lines. Your business can

  • Make 24 simultaneous external calls (Voice/FAX only),
  • Have high speed Internet (Data only), or
  • Have a combination of phone lines and Internet (Integrated voice and data).

Note that the capability to make 24 simultaneous external calls can satisfy the needs of 24 to several hundred individual phone users, depending on their call volume.

A T1 line is a dedicated line (local loop) between your location and, normally, the phone company's Customer Office (CO). Pricing depends primarily on the length of this local loop--that is, the distance between your location and the Customer Office.
