T1 Internet Access Support

How fast is a T1 connection?

Each of the 24 available channels are capable of providing 64Kbps of bandwidth, giving a total bandwidth of 1.544Mbps. For example, 12 data channels would provide 768kps of bandwidth.

Do I get dial-up access with my T1 package?

Dial-up access is not included with our T1 packages. DS1(T1) and dial-up access are two different types of Internet access. Integra's dial-up Internet access is competitively priced for unlimited access and includes one email address, which may come in handy. Give us a call if you would like to place an order.

All PC's on the network can connect but one.

This indicates that the issue is isolated to the local network, and not the DS1(T1) connection.

Where can I go to check my T1 speed?

Integra has a speed test machine available for you to test your speed.

Why doesn't my download speed match my T1 speed?

Most downloads are measured in kilobytes per second whereas T1 is measured in kilobit's per second. Here's an example if I was using 4 data channels (256kps) and downloading a file at 26k per second:

26Kb/sec times 8 (8 bits in 1 byte) equals 208 bits/sec, which is just what you'd expect to see.
