For companies which need 12 mbps or less, bonded T1 can be the most cost effective option, because it is provided through two pairs of phone lines. DS3, however, requires special wiring at the end user premise, so setup costs are often higher than T1 and bonded T1. The major cost advantage for fractional DS3 is often recognized for circuits which are about 10 mbps, and faster. As bandwidth increases beyond 10 mbps, the price per mbps commonly decreases proportionately. For example, an average price for a tier one T1 now averages about $500. per month. With full DS3, the price per T1 often averages about $200. per month. So although the one time cost of set up for DS3 can be considerably higher than T1 services, the monthly savings for larger bandwidths such as fractional and full DS3 result in significant savings. If you would like to check pricing for T1, bonded t1, fractional DS3 or full DS3, for your business, use the pricing tool at the top of this page. Its free, simple and comparative prices are provided in real-time.
