DS3 Internet Access - Beware of Wolves in Cheap Clothing

DS3 internet access has been around for over 40 years but never have there been so many "flavors" available. The number of providers has jumped since deregulation in 1996 from a few dozen to several thousand. As the telecom shakedown that began in 2001 continues many of these companies are trying to stay afloat by capturing as many customers as possible with inexpensive products they claim to be DS3. Don't be fooled!

Many of the desperate companies are putting together inferior products they claim are DS3 products. Be leery of products with the funny titles like "burstable" and "reach". These products are oversubscribed much like a DSL product. This means the provider puts a single DS3 connection in a CO (Central Office) and sells DS3 lines to 3 or 4 customers hoping they don't all try to use the service at the same time. True DS3 access means dedicated access to the internet and you always have access to 45Mbps.

Make sure your DS3 product is a DS3 in cheap clothing and is not shared with other users. Also be sure you have an SLA or Service Level Agreement from your provider. A SLA will specify the access you will receive and the penalty the service provider will pay if they do not provide such service. If you need help establishing the proper SLA, seek the help of a professional. It's much better to pay a small fee up front than to enter a long term contract with an inferior carrier. You can also get professional assistance free of charge by simply contacting us.

- Ubiquitous T1 Coverage Across Texas

For those of you who have never lived in or at least been to the state of Texas, it's hard to believe just how big this state really is. Imagine taking most of Europe and squishing it into a single state! (Well, except Texas is very sparsely populated.)

The problem with all that land mass is that most carriers don't cover it very well. If you're outside of the Dallas-Forth Worth Metro area (DFW), Austin or Houston, you can often be SOL when it comes to finding a broadband carrier.

We have good news though! One of our T1 carriers offers complete, blanket T1 coverage across the entire state of Texas. If you can get dial-tone - i.e. a phone line - we can put a T1 in your location. And then if you have any neighbors (even if they're in the next ranch) you can hit them w/ a wireless or WiFi shot and share the connection with them to reduce your costs.
