When finding Internet service for your business, you must consider the budget you have for your Internet service in addition to factors such as office size, connection speed, and service requirements.

Which one do you need?  Follow me as I decode the differences between DSL, T1, and T3 internet connections for your business.

DSL Business Internet:

These connections are favored by businesses that have between 2 and 6 regular Internet users.  (A regular Internet user in your office is a person who is daily, habitually on the Internet for significant periods of time. ) A DSL connection is perfect for the office that needs reliable, cost-effective Internet solutions, as it usually costs less than $200 a month.

T1 Business Internet:

If you work in a company with up to 30 regular Internet users, a T1 Internet connection may be a better choice for you.  With a T1 connection you get efficient file transferring rates and a connection speed of 1.5 mbps.  A T1 connection usually costs $300-700 per month (depending on your location and the service provider you choose), and offers a more stable connection that DSL.

DS3 Business Internet:

For a company that requires more that 6 mbps of uploading and downloading capacity (for a total of 12 mbps), and has a fairly large number of regular internet users, a T3 connection could be the best choice.  Because a T3 connection usually costs between $2500 + per month, it is wise to make sure that you really need this type of connection.  Often businesses are amazed at the speed and efficacy of T1 connections, which are a fraction of the price. 

The parameters that are given above are designed to help you choose the best Internet connection solution for you at the best price—but like all rules, these Internet connection rules have exceptions.  If you are unsure about what Business Internet to Purchase, please read our Internet Buyer’s Guide for more information.
