Hosting a T-1 line [split from old thread]
| Posted by YouGotWooned, 01-25-2011, 01:54 PM | | Hey!
I have a quick question
I'm currently thinking of hosting a t1 connection in my small apartment complex and actually planning to host and provide the internet service to my neighbors maybe for a monthly charge.
My apartment complex holds maybe 18 rooms
assuming only 15 is occupied and 12 members agreed to it.
is it possible to host a server and provide internet service to 12 of the members.
Thanks for your time and consideration

It would be crazy to use T1s for a data centre's main communication links; however, there may be some customers who want a direct link from their office to the DC, and for whom T1 is adequate and cost-effective.
T3 is faster - about 40 megabits a second. But I should think the installation prices are very high, as it needs repeaters every few hundred feet.
There is a reason why phone companies developed fibre ...
