| T1 in MDU (Apartment)
Hello,
I currently operate a small business from my apartment. This apartment is in a pre-war building, so the facilities that are currently "pulled" to my floor consist of 3 wires. This effectively gives me one pair, which I'm certain isn't sufficient for T1. However, I see that Speakeasy has a great deal on T1 service, including free installation and free equipment.
When I had consumer DSL about 2 years ago from Verizon, they seemed unwilling to improve the facilities from my basement to this floor. Would the fact I'll be a T1 customer improve their outlook on return from me? I believe a T1 requires 2 pairs for an HDSL-provisioned loop. If it only requires 1 pair, I think we're in business.
Let me know what you experts think, if you don't mind  |

Schaumburg, IL | It really depends on what type (protocol) T1. Our dual T1's run over a single pair. Might be worth checking out how Covad/Speakeasy does it. I believe our t1's are using HDSL. |

Thanks! It does appear that if they are using HDSL2, I'll be set. |

Note that Speakeasy doesn't offer an actual T1 but rather a 1.5Mbit Frame Relay. It acts a lot like a T1 having 1.54Mbits up and down, but the key difference is how it handles congestion. Make sure you know what you are buying. |
