T1 Point to Point Intrastate Circuits
Written by: ShopForT1.net - Jan 8, 2009
T1 carriers offer superb pricing on intrastate point-to-point T1 circuits. This is a T1 that does not touch the Internet, but simply connects point A to point B. There are many industries that use point to point circuits probably one of the most prominent examples is banks. The bank branch office is connected to the bank headquarters office via a point-to-point circuit to transmit customer information to/from the headquarters, and since it does not go through the Internet, the customer's financial information is much more secure.
Also consider hospitals communicating with their clinics spread around the city or state, transmitting a patient's medical information to/from the main hospital. Such T1 circuits can be offered in any state, but the states Arizona, Colorado, California, Florida, Utah, Oregon, Texas, and Washington are "blanket states" meaning that the price is the same for the circuit from ANY point in the state to ANY OTHER point in that state. For example, a price of this T1 point-to-point is the same price whether it is from one side of the street to the other in Houston, Texas (maybe 150 feet), or from Houston, Texas to Dallas, Texas (more like 250 miles)!
We recommend using an agent to help you achieve significant cost reductions in your point-to-point voice & data communications. An agent will assist you with any technical application & sales support questions. Best of all, they will not charge a fee or mark up the T1 price to help you. The commissions are paid by the company which you sign with at the end. As the carrier doesn't have to pay an inside sales rep for the sale, they compensate the agent instead and maintain the same margin as though you went direct. Another advantage of the agent is the fact that he is paid on a residual basis. This means that he or she is interested in the longevity of your account and the level of your service.
