| MPLS/VPN | MultiProtocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a data-carrying mechanism which emulates some properties of a circuit-switched network over a packet-switched network. MPLS operates at an OSI Model layer that is generally considered to lie between traditional definitions of Layer 2 (data link layer) and Layer 3 (network layer), and thus is often referred to as a "Layer 2.5" protocol. It was designed to provide a unified data-carrying service for both circuit-based clients and packet-switching clients which provide a datagram service model. It can be used to carry many different kinds of traffic, including IP packets, as well as native ATM, SONET, and Ethernet frames. This is used to connect two (2) or more locations together. | The pricing will vary depending on the number of locations and the bandwidth necessary. |
| Fractional or Burstable T1 | up to 1.544 Mbps upstream and downstream. |
The T1 line starts about $300/month depending on location (local loop charge will vary depending on how far a location is from a local POP). |
| Full T1 | 1.544 Mbps upstream and downstream. |
Starts at about $300 - $1,000/month depends on local loop costs |
| Bonded T1/ NxT1 | A bonded T1 (also called bonded DS1 or NxT1) is two or more T1s that have been joined (bonded) together to increase bandwidth. A full T1 provides about 1.5Mbps or 24 individual channels each supporting 64Kbit per second, where two bonded T1's provide 3Mbps or 48 channels. Pros: provides lots of bandwidth for a small company or ISP. Con: can be more costly than a full T1. |
$700 - $1500/month depending on location. |
| Point to Point T1 | A point to point (P2P) T1 line is a private line between two locations. This circuit does not go to the internet and is completely secure. It is the ideal solution for companies that need to connect different locations that are close to each other since the further the locations, the more it will cost. If the locations are far from each other, VPN or MPLS or Frame Relay may be better options. | Starts at about $300/month and up depending on how far the locations are from each other. |
| Frame Relay | 56 Kbps-1.544 Mbps A high-speed packet switching protocol used in wide area networks (WANs). Used as company backbone to ISP and ISP to internet infrastructure. |
Starts at about $300/month depending on location and on bandwidth required. |
| Fractional or Burstable T3/DS3 | 6 Mbps to 44.736 Mbps. A fractional T-3/DS3 has with some of the 672 64 Kbps channels turned off. Used as connection from ISP to internet infrastructure. Smaller links within internet infrastructure. A DS3 provides reliable, guaranteed bandwidth. |
Starts at $2,000/month for 6-10Mbps depending on the location (local loop cost can vary greatly). |
| Full T3 or DS3 - 45 mbps | Full T3/DS3 - 45 mbps. A full T3 Line or DS3 line is a communications line which can transmit data at 44.746 Megabits per second (Mbps). It is about 30 times faster than a full T1 line. T3/DS3's are most commonly used by ISPs and large websites. |
Starts at $3,000/month as the local loop cost can vary greatly. The more remote the location, the more the local loop will be. |
| Point to Point T3/DS3 | A point to point (P2P) T3/DS3 line is a private line between two locations. It is a much faster circuit than a P2P T1. This circuit does not go to the internet and is completely secure. It is the ideal solution for companies that need to connect different locations and need a lot of bandwidth that are close to each other since the further the locations, the more it will cost. If the locations are far from each other, VPN or MPLS may be better options. | Starts at about $5,000/month + set up + local loop depending on the locations. |
| Fractional or Burstable OC3 | Fractional or Burstable OC3 An OC3 connection is a Fiber optic connection capable of transfering data at up to 155.52 Mbps. |
Prices start at $5,000/month depending on bandwidth needed and local loop cost which can vary greatly depending on location. |
| Full OC3 - 155Mbps | A full OC3 connection is a fiber optic connection capable of transfering data at 155.52 Mbps. | Starts at $7000/month + set up + local loop depending on the location. |
| Point to Point OC3 | A point to point (P2P) OC3 line (155 mbps) is a private line between two locations. It is a much faster circuit than a P2P T3/DS3 (45 mbps). This circuit does not go to the internet and is completely secure. It is the ideal solution for companies that need to connect different locations and need a lot of bandwidth that are close to each other since the further the locations, the more it will cost. If the locations are far from each other, VPN or MPLS may be better options. | Start at $4,000/month depending on the location since the local loop cost can vary greatly. |
| FastE - Fast Ethernet | A Fast Ethernet (FastE) is an ethernet (fiber) connection with up to 100 Mbps of bandwidth. It is available usually in the major US cities. It is in between a T3/DS3 line (45 mbps) and an OC3 line (155 mbps) |
Start at $3000 + set up + local loop (if not in a colocation facility) as the pricing can vary greatly depending on location. |
| Fract/Burstable OC12 | A Fractional /Burstable OC12 circuit is a fiber optic connection capable of transfering data at up to 622.08 Mbps. |
Prices start at $4,000/month depending on location since the local loop pricing can vary greatly. |
| Full OC12 - 622 mbps | A full OC12 circuit is a fiber optic connection capable of transfering data at 622.08 Mbps. | Starts out at $6,000/month depending on the location since the local loop pricing can vary greatly. |
| GigE - Gigabit Ethernet | Gigabit Ethernet (GigE), a transmission technology based on the Ethernet frame format and protocol used in local area networks (LANs), provides a data rate of 1 billion bits per second (one gigabit - 1000 mbps). GigE is defined in the IEEE 802.3 standard and is currently being used as the backbone in many enterprise networks. GigE is carried primarily on optical fiber. Existing Ethernet LANs with 10 and 100 Mbps cards can feed into a Gigabit Ethernet backbone. |
Prices start $15,000/month depending on the location since the local loop pricing can vary greatly. It is usually available in major cities. |
| Local T1/PRI | (Primary Rate Interface) An ISDN service that provides 23 64 Kbps B (Bearer) channels and one 64 Kbps D (Data) channel (23B+D), which is equivalent to the 24 channels of a T1 line. The advantage of the D channel is that it sends control signals that can dynamically allocate any number of B channels for different applications. For example, one channel can be used for voice, while another can be used for data, while six more can be used for a videoconferencing channel and so on. PRI lines typically use four wire pairs. PRI lines are often designated as PRI/T1 or T1/PRI lines, but they are dial-up PRI lines, not T1 lines, which are point-to-point. | Up to $400/month depending on location and provider. |
| Integrated T1 | Integrated T1 (also called channelized T1) is a T1 line that is divided into 24 channels (voice and data), each having a maximum data speed of 64 thousand bits per second (Kbps), and each capable of supporting a unique application that can run concurrently with, but independently of, other applications on different channels. Integrated T1 has become popular with businesses because of its flexibility. It allows an enterprise to run several services, such as local telephone, long-distance telephone, Internet, and voice over IP (VoIP) over a single circuit at the same time. Integrated T1 should not be confused with fractional T1. A fractional T1 line is leased to a customer at a fraction of the data-carrying capacity of a conventional T1 line and at a correspondingly lower cost. |
Integrated T1 starts at $500/month and is only available in some parts of the country. |
| Business SDSL | up to 1.544 Mbps upstream and downstream. |
Starts at about $90 for the SDSL service |
