" A T1 Connection Costs Less than You Think ( Probably)"

by Greg Couzens


Over the last 5 years I have helped many business owners save money on their T1 Lines. They usually find my site by Googling "discount t1" or "t1 price quote." Most visitors are "window shoppers." They are just curious how much a t1 costs. Some are gamers or students just goofing around. Others need quotes for a school project.

While many site visitors are turned off by the "high" price of a T1 connection, serious business people are pleasantly surprised. These people depend on their phone systems and internet connections on a daily basis. Any downtime can result in thousands of dollars in lost sales in opportunities. Spending several hundred dollars per month on a T1 connection is a sound business decision.

So how much does a T1 line cost? It really depends. Your location and specific needs determine what services are available. However, it is not unheard of to find T1 service for around $350-400 per month. That may sound like a steep price to pay, but it really isn't. If your business uses a lot of bandwidth you need uptime and reliability. You aren't going to mess with a low-end DSL solution made for home use.

In fact, finding a good T1 solution for less than $1000 a month was almost heard of not that long ago. If you already have a T1 connection, you might be able to save by entering an agreement with a new carrier. I recommend using an online quote tool or telecom consultant with access to competitive quotes from multiple providers.
