Fractional DS3, often referred to as fractional T3, is a less expensive alternative to a full DS3. A full DS3 circuit transmits data at a rate of 45 megabits per second (mbps). Full DS3 is the equivalent of 28 T1 (1.5 mbps) circuits. Bonded T1 circuits provide bandwidth options from 3 mbps through 12 mbps. Fractional DS3 provides bandwidth options between 5 mbps through 40 mbps. (For more about fractional DS3 please click here)

Coverage Area

Unlike DSL and other broadband technologies that are limited to only densely populated areas, T1 service is available just about anywhere with a phone line. T1, also known as DS1, uses repeaters to boost up the signal strength of the transmission - allowing it to travel up to 50 miles away from the nearest Central Office location.

Fractional DS3 Definition Continued.

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.

VoIP and the Importance of QoS

Written by: Dennis Green - Jan 7, 2009

VoIP (voice over internet protocol) services are becoming increasingly available as tier 1 providers are now embracing this technology to improve their voice offerings. Quotes vary depending on the type of VoIP you are seeking. One of the most important elements related to VoIP pricing relates to quality of service (QoS). There are several levels of QoS. To ensure ideal voice quality with VoIP, QoS must be present at every junction throughout the service provider’s network, until the call reaches the public switched telephone network (PSTN). This ensures that voice packets receive priority over other types of data. Where QoS is not present, voice packets have no priority over other forms of data. This often results in latency and jitter. Latency and jitter negatively impact voice quality. Most tier 1 providers can now ensure QoS throughout their systems. This costs money however, thus tier 1 VoIP quotes are often a bit higher priced then VoIP services which utilize the public internet. Internet VoIP can often offer the many valuable features sought by end users, and lower phone costs, such as $45 per month for unlimited long distance service to the continental US and Canada. However, QoS cannot be assured across the public internet. So although an end user can control the QoS throughout their local network, once voice packets reach the internet, QoS can no longer be assured, so voice quality is inconsistent. If call quality with your customers is mission critical to your business, it is advised that whenever possible, obtain a VoIP service which is provided by the same provider that is providing the bandwidth. Then as an extra precaution, it would be wise to require the provider to confirm that they provide and control QoS throughout their system, until each call is transferred to the PSTN.
