That investment is now paying huge dividends; the days of having to contact a myriad of companies and then wait days or even weeks for them to send you back a price quote are now a thing of the past.

Just minutes after you submit your information to obtain a price quote, one of our trained and experienced telecom consultants will contact you to discuss your situation, analyze your needs, and give you the unbiased research that you deserve.

This saves money in that only one connection is needed for both voice (phone) and data (Internet) service.

You are not merely trading one system for another: VoIP represents the next generation of telephony and messaging: Control calls anytime from anywhere, view incoming calls, view missed calls, view calls you have placed, view your voice messages like emails (find the voice message you want to listen to first – listen to it through your phone, remotely, or on any sound-enabled computer, forward it to another user or an email box), click to call people in your contact directory, enjoy four-digit dialing to all of your locations, etc.







ADT Home Security Alarm Systems:
ADT is the leader in affordable high-tech alarm systems in the United States based on state-of-the-art technology and equipment that provide Interactive Monitoring with World Wide Web access, mobile phone access, email alerts and other notifications of intrusions upon the safety of your family.

Any monitored intrusion into your home will be quickly reported by one of the 5 United States ADT Security Services Customer Monitoring Centers that continuously protect your family and home 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

It's important to understand that most security companies only have one monitoring center, and in some cases, that one center is not based in the United States or even managed by an actual security company.

With ADT, you get security from five interconnected command centers that are strategically located throughout the United States. Each command center is backed by powerful equipment and trained professionals, so if one connection is interrupted, one of the other centers can handle the monitoring for your home.

This means ADT is prepared for various emergencies. Other companies may not be equipped to provide this level of protection. A company offering only one monitoring center may not be able to protect your home and family in the event their one center goes down.

Don't risk your home and family's safety, choose ADT (America's #1 security company) for monitored security protection. With ADT, your home is monitored 24 hours a day. In the event of an emergency, your ADT system can transmit a signal to one of ADT's five monitoring centers. The receiving monitoring center then will attempt to contact the homeowner via phone after the signal is received. If the person who answers the phone cannot supply the personal identification code, or if no one answers the phone, the representative then can notify local authorities. Local authorities may be dispatched to the home to determine the cause of the disturbance and to respond to emergency situations.

Our Future and Vision: Our goal is to build a bond of trust with you, our client, that will last for years to come. We will earn your trust by finding "the right" solution every time. Call us at (888) 255-5859.




MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching):
MPLS is a standardized data switching technology that optimizes network traffic flow and eases management of data networks. MPLS carves specific paths data packets that are identified by a label that saves the time needed for a router to look up the address to the next node in order to forward the packet. MPLS works with the Internet Protocol (IP), Asynchronous Transport Mode (ATM), and frame relay network protocols. MPLS allows most packets to be forwarded at the layer 2 (switching) level rather than at the layer 3 (routing) level and makes it easy to manage quality of service (QoS).




Ethernet Access to the Internet from your Local Area Network (LAN)
Connect your business local area network (LAN) to the Internet using the same protocol that operates on your LAN: Ethernet. This increasingly popular Internet access solution makes it easy to connect all of the computers on your LAN at your company to the Internet with minimal configuration and cost.

A major feature of Internet over Ethernet is the ease in which you can upgrade from 1 Mbps to 1 Gbps. Simply call your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and ask for an upgrade and it can be provisioned almost in real time. This service is the future of Internet access for the foreseable future.




Digital Subscriber Line Service (DSL):
Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) connects end users (subscribers) to the Internet via a plain old telephone service (POTS) line that uses an existing copper pair but has been sped up by a Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) located at the service provider centeral office (CO) to form a continuous digital high-speed data connection from the customer premise to the Internet.

Asymetric DSL (ADSL) allows more bandwidth to move data toward the end user (multimedia and text) than from the end user (mostly keystrokes and mouse behavior) to the Internet. The downstream receiving rate from the Internet usually varies from 1.5 to 9Mbps while the upstream sending rate usually varies from 16 to 640 Kbps. The main limitation on bandwidth speeds available is the distance from the customer premise to the local telephone company central office.




Wireless Internet Service:
High-speed satellite and microwave Internet connections for business can replace or back up traditional terrestrial landlines such as Internet T1s and Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) service. With wireless IInternet service in place as your primary or backup Internet connection, you can always count on low-latency connection to the Internet that means you will have an "always up", "never down", "zero outage" service that eliminates wasted time and increases productivity.

 T1 Internet Provider Top 10 List

Written by: Patrick Oborn - Jan 7, 2009


While Dave Letterman may never read this list on his show, we've created a Top 10 list of California T1 Internet Providers. In our review of service providers we considered reliability, customer support, provisioning and financial stability. In our opinion a top provider of services will have a high rating in each of the categories. Unfortunately some of the providers we found were regional providers and may not be near you but two of them are so good you may just want to move closer to be on their network!

The top company in our survey was Telepacific. The only downside to this company is the fact that they only offer service in California and Las Vegas. Telepacific received top marks in all four or our categories and is what we recommend most to customers in California. The second carrier in our list was USLEC. Like our fist pick USLEC is a regional player offering services in the south and on the eastern seaboard. USLEC was founded and is run by engineers. These people have a passion for getting it right and keeping their customers happy. Number three on our list is New Edge Networks. New Edge is a national player found predominantly in metro areas. New Edge is large enough to be a strong player but still small enough to treat customers like a small company.

Our number four position goes to Netifice, formerly Epoch. Again, a small Tier 1 player but excellent service nationwide. Number five position goes to ACC Business. Available everywhere in the continental US, ACC used the ATT network exclusively and provides a high level of service. Positions six through ten when in the following order: Telarus, Sprint, Xspedius, PNG, and Megapath. When looking for a reliable provider you should be comfortable with any of these. Make sure you speak to your broker about the strengths and weaknesses of each carrier. While our rankings were based evenly on the four criteria mentioned at the beginning of the article you may decide that some criteria are more important to you than others. Good luck in your search.
