If a T1 service isn't enough to meet your needs, you can choose from the Tier 1 service providers' comprehensive t3 line (DS-3) service options.

This high-speed line is offered in variables of up to 45 Mbps (from 3 Mbps to 45 Mbps or just 45 Mbps, depending on your needs) of continuous bandwidth so you can optimize the response time of your Web site, transfer large video files, or offer regional Internet access.

That's probably not news to anyone here.

But who might offer you the best "system"?

I pulled this "review" off an email I received.....and would welcome comments. Agree...disagree...recommend others.

============

We found 5 service providers that offer great plans. The first plan we found was with ACC Business. ACC uses the ATT network exclusively and is at the top when it comes to reliability. At ACC you'll get the realiability you would expect from ATT without the price.

Sprint also came up high in our review of T3 service plans. Sprint offers an incredible SLA (Service Level Agreement) with their service standing behind the product they offer 100%. While this may seem like something all providers do, further research will show that not all providers offer an SLA like Sprint.

The third provider offering a great T3 plan is Telepacific. Unfortunately Telepacific is a regional player and only offers service in California and Las Vegas. Because of their focus they are extremely specialized and offer incredible customer support and reliability. If you're not in California you may consider moving there just to get this service.

The fourth plan we found and highly recommend is Telarus. Telarus is a reseller for Global Crossing, Qwest, and Wiltel. While you will get the value of the underlying provider you will not pay the price you would going in the front door. Telarus buys in bulk from these networks and transfers on the cost savings to its customers. Telarus is a virtual provider so you will not have extra hops to the network. You jump right on from your local CO and don't have to worry about extra latency!

The final plan we suggest in our top 5 is Savvis. Savis offers Tier 1 service and highly reliable customer service. While they have a limited footprint, once you're on the network you'll have one of the best services around.

God Bless,
Michael

RE:

Aw shucks...thanks for the welcome Chas.

I appreciate the invite to add my Billzilla link to your database. Any suggestions on what category to appropriately post it to?

BTW, I'm still interested in any comments folks may have on the "reviews" I shared in the original post to this thread.

A little background may be in order.......

I asked a friend for a comparison/review of vendors offering DS3/T3 service. What he sent me via email was what is in the post "for comment".

The "review" I received was not as comprehensive as I hoped and appeared biased.

So...I decided to share it here as a starting point and ask the question again. Hoping that the professionals in the pbxinfo forum would comment on what I had so far....and hopefully also provide a more comprehensive list and unbiased review (or a resource where something like that could be found).


God Bless,
Michael

Does anyone have suggestions for where a comprehensive review of T3/DS3 line providers can be found?

I looked thru dslreports.com and it's good but I need something more narrowly focused on comparing DS3 providers.

Thanks.
