What a Business Should Look For in T1 Phone Service and Internet Access
T1 phone service and internet access are crucial to businesses, especially those that have to use multiple phone lines and computer networks. T-1 digital communication lines are bought from telecom companies. These lines provide a bandwidth of 1.544 megabits per second for transmitting two way digital communications in private business networks, and for transmitting two way digital communications with internet access service providers. It makes good business sense to shop for T1 phone lines, phone service and internet access of the highest quality at the lowest cost. After all, cheap phone service will be useless with no quality control. You may end up always losing your dial tone.
When looking for high quality T1 phone service and internet access, you should find out if the service provider is licensed as a telecom company in your state. It should also be a Registered Communications Distribution Designer (RCDD) as certified by the Building Industry Consulting Service International, Inc. (BICSI) which is the premier association of Information Transport Systems (ITS) industry telecommunications consultants.
A Registered Communications Distribution Designer (RCDD) is required to abide by the BICSI Code of Ethics and the BICSI RCDD Standards of Conduct which both specify only the highest levels of professional and ethical behavior in the provision of ITS products and services. Any telecom company’s offer of cheap phone service and cheap internet access would only be worth considering if it is state licensed and RCDD certified by the BICSI.
