Is someone offering you the "same" service at a cheaper price? Then they aren't giving you a T-1 to the Internet. Period! It's going to happen. They'll even use the term "T-1 equivalent" to try to convince you that their DSL service is just like a T-1. But how does their service really stack up? Ask a few questions, and you'll see that genuine T-1 service has no equal. Is DSL as fast as T-1? No. With T-1, you have a dedicated line that gives you a consistent, high-speed connection. DSL claims to have similar speed, but in most cases, upload speeds are slower than download speeds. You may also lose DSL speed based on how far you are from the nearest central office and how many others are connected to the same central office. Is DSL as reliable as T-1? No. T-1 has far greater stability. DSL is more likely to have service outages. And when DSL service goes down, it takes far longer to repair. Think about what would happen if your business was without telephone and Internet service for a day or more. Cbeyond's T-1 service rarely has outages, and we almost always restore service within minutes - not days. Does the DSL provider guarantee its service? Cbeyond is so confident about our uptime, we give every customer a Service Level Agreement. If our T-1 is down, you don't pay. Our Service Level Agreement is the best in the industry. How satisfied are the provider's customers? Cbeyond leads the industry with 99 percent customer retention. That's because Cbeyond was created specifically to serve small businesses. We've remained committed to that focus, and our customers have thanked us with their loyalty. Cbeyond's T-1 service was built to give small businesses like yours the reliable communications you need every day.
