T1 vs DSL for Business Broadband
T1 lines set up as T1 Dedicated Internet connections give business users guaranteed bandwidth of 1.5 Mbps both upload and download, plus a SLA service level agreement to assure line reliability. DSL is a "best effort" Internet service that is offered without any service guarantee on a shared connection. Bandwidth varies depending on how heavily other businesses are using the connection.

Sharing Business Broadband Costs
Even smaller businesses can have high performance dedicated Internet access by splitting the cost of a T1 line with other businesses in their building or business park.

Channelized and Unchannelized T1 Lines
A T1 line may be configured as a single large pipe offering 1.5 Mbps data transport or as 24 individual channels of 64 Kbps each, ideal for use as individual outside telephone lines to support Key or PBX business telephone systems.

What Are Pseudowires?
A pseudowire is a virtual "circuit" that emulates a traditional digital telecom service but on a packet switched network. MPLS networks are especially suitable for pseudowires. By using a pseudowire circuit, you can get the point to point connectivity you desire without having to re-engineer your facilities to accommodate a different protocol network.

T1 Lines are Full Duplex
T1 lines are bidirectional or full duplex. That means that you can independently upload and download data at up to the full line rate of 1.5 Mbps simultaneously. LANs that use switched Ethernet are also full duplex, but LANs that use hubs operate at half-duplex. A half-duplex network cannot transmit and receive at the same time, cutting effective bandwidth by up to half.

Bandwidth to Support Convergence
Convergence means combining or converging voice, data and video onto a single network. Enterprises usually need to expand their LAN bandwidth and set up a QoS or Quality of Service priority system to give priority to real-time streams such as telephone calls or video conference feeds, which are more sensitive to network delays than data transfers. Most often, the common protocol for convergence is IP.
