Business T1 Internet Connections

Attention: open in a new window. PrintE-mail

A business that seriously relies on the Internet needs an equally reliable Internet connection and Internet bandwidth provider. Any amount of downtime in this connected world can mean anything from crucial emails not getting delivered in time, or missing an order because the customer couldn’t reach your website or your sales staff online. Unlike an office or storefront that only need to be manned during opening business hours, your Internet connection and presence need to be working around the clock. If your business depends on 24/7 high bandwidth access to the Internet for hundreds of employees, or for bandwidth-intensive online activities such as video streaming, online education and training, or Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) that keep your off-site employees connected to the central servers, you can’t afford to have anything less than the best in your Internet connectivity. The lowest level of connection you should consider is a business t1 line, which is 1.45 megabits of constant bidirectional connection from your office to the Internet. But if you have a large number of employees who work online, or you have multimedia needs on a regular basis, you would probably need to upgrade to a business Ethernet connection instead, which starts at 3 megabits, and can go up to 10 or even 20 megabits. That, combined with the 99.99% uptime guarantee offered by Megapath and provided by their redundant U.S.-based Network Operation Centers, will ensure that your business will stay online even in the most demanding situations. Other high bandwidth connectivity options offered by Megapath include DSL, Cable, Satellite, and even wireless broadband, for special situations where the other solutions simply can’t provide the necessary reach. If you have ever experienced the frustration of losing Internet connection at home and then waiting hours to speak to a technician and possibly days before your connectivity gets restored, you will want to make sure that your business Internet is treated with the professionalism it deserves.
