Do You Need a T1 service line for your Business?

Consider this:
Does the savings in "per minute long distance rate" exceed the cost of the monthly cost of T1 service line local loop (the "pipe" that connects your equipment directly to the long distance carrier)? Usual T1 connection loop costs run between $200-$1000 per month depending on geographic location from the loop.
Can a significant number of local lines be eliminated by using a long distance T1 connection line. Remember that one T1 connection is equal to 24 lines. This could offset the cost of the loop charge.
Equipment required - a phone system that is able to accept a T1 card, or a channel bank is required. Cost of equipment can vary from $1000-$4000 depending on your equipment and/or vendor.

T1 Service Explained

A T1 service line can carry about 192,000 bytes per second -- roughly 60 times more data than a normal residential modem. It is also extremely reliable -- much more reliable than an analog modem. Depending on what they are doing, a T1 line connection can generally handle quite a few people. For general browsing, hundreds of users are easily able to share a T1 connection line comfortably. If they are all downloading MP3 files or video files simultaneously it would be a problem, but that still isn't extremely common. A T2 service has 4 T1's (4x24=96 channels) and a T3 has 28 T1 s ( 672 channels). This kind of carriers are only used by big corporations.
