T1 broadband services are what the average consumer uses when they want a fast internet connection. It doesnt cost as much money as a T3, but it also doesnt have the capacity of a T3. Is this a solution we could use for business, or is this a waste of resources?

T1 or Not T1, Thats the Question
So your business is currently in its infancy, and while you do plan on growth, its going to be a slow climb. Right now, what you sell and the web traffic youll start out with dont justify a T3. Before you decide for sure, here are the things youll want to consider.

If you start with a fractured T3 rather than a T1, upgrading is going to be a lot easier. Yes, a fractured T3 is more expensive than a T1, so what you need to really look at is how fast you plan to grow. Remember that if your growth outpaces your system, it can actually inhibit your business potential.

That said, if you have a simple product and a simple website, T1 services may be all you need. If you dont really need complex quoting, and you dont plan on it anytime soon, the right choice is the connection without the expanded bandwidth. You can still get all the security features and, at this point, that might be all you need.
