Ethernet MPLS Providers
Ethernet MPLS Definition Continued.
data traffic over one large data pipe of a network. Prior to the use of ethernet with these networks, customers had the flexibility to choose between T1, bonded T1, DS3 or OC3 (fiber) speed for each location of their network. Now providers are introducing the option of utilizing ethernet circuits in MPLS networks as well. There are many advantages to this. As an example, in the past, if a customer needed a ten megabit per second (mbps) circuit at a location of their network, they would have had the option of paying approximately $4000 per month for a 10.5 mbps seven bonded t1, or about the same price for a 10 mbps fractional ds3. Now that ethernet can be utilized, this same bandwidth can be obtained in the form of ethernet over copper (EoC) for about $1200 where EoC is available. As another example, ethernet over ds3 and 88 mbps ethernet often offers far better prices than DS3 for locations where these forms of ethernet are available. Many locations of MPLS networks are not within range of ethernet, however, for each of those location of the network that can be reached by ethernet, thousands of dollars can be saved each month. Ethernet service comes with the same service level guarantee as t1 and ds3. As inferred earlier, the major disadvantage of ethernet at this time is that it is only available to about 50% of all business locations. However, because all types of bandwidth can be used in a single MPLS network, depending on the offerings of the provider, it is not uncommon for the majority of the locations of a network to utilize ethernet while the rest use ds1 or ds3. To obtain availability and pricing of ethernet, or any forms of t1 or DS3, for any location in the US, please use the pricing tool at the top of this page.

Use Long Distance T1 and Save Money
Writen by: Dennis Green
Long distance T1 is an excellent solution for companies which pay more than $500 per month for their long distance telephone service. $500 is provided as a break even point because a long distance T1 circuit costs between $100 and $300 per month, depending on the location of your company. Businesses which can justify the monthly reoccurring charge of a long distance circuit, will experience significantly reduced per minute charges for their domestic long distance usage. For example, businesses which use switched long distance service commonly pay between three and six cents per minute for their outgoing out of state, and incoming out of state toll free (800#) calls. With a long distance t1 circuit however, these companies can reduce these costs to a penny a minute for outgoing out-of-state calls, and 1.2 cents per minute for incoming toll free lines. There is also significant savings for in-state long distance with a long distance T1, however, specifics cannot be provided in this article due varying tariffs on in-state long distance rates, which vary in each state. These tariffs only apply to in-state long distance calls. They do not apply to out of state calls. Each long distance T1 provides 24 phone circuits. Each long distance T1 PRI provides 23 usable voice circuits. The limitation of long distance t1 is that it does not facilitate free local calling. If free local calls are needed, then local voice T1 might be a better option. If the majority of a company's calls are long distance, then integrated local and long distance t1 might be preferable, or a long distance T1 in conjunction with a few POTS (Plain old telephone service) lines.
