With more and more business applications relying on the Internet, many businesses are realizing that DSL is neither fast enough nor reliable enough for their business. For web-intensive work or consistently large file transfers, CorpWest recommends a full T1 connection. Unlike with DSL or broadband cable, your bandwidth is not shared among neighboring businesses and is not distance sensitive — everyone on the circuit can access the full bandwidth BOTH directions. T1 lines offer a point-to-point connection at a full 1.54 megabits per second (Mbps), regardless of distance from a telephone company's central office.
