WOndering why the installation of a t1 is 30+ days?

[EvilNightHawk3]

I mean , i was looking on websites for fun, and the standard installation of a t1 is around 30-45 days and was wondering how hard it is to tell the phone company to lay the line and then set it all up?

[resopalrabotnick]

the thing with a t1 is that they take 4 wires to your house and then have to set up equipment at the telco switch and in your house.

[EvilNightHawk3]

So a t1 runs over 2 or 4 copper lines and a normal adsl connection runs over 1 or 2 copper lines ?

[resopalrabotnick]

no. dsl = based on pots. 1 pair = 2 wires.

t1 2 pair, 4 wires.

and a whole different deal in your building. you need a rack of gear to split it into the 24 voice channels or to get the 1.5/1.5 or whatever combo you choose to use.

on a t1 line the line from your house up to the back bone teleco is yours

that is why they can assure you the quality of 1.5 up and down

[EvilNightHawk3]

Can you split the t1 up into 12 voice channels and like 768/768?

good question

i would like to knwo the answer too

HOw many t1's can you bond together and will it be one line or you can dl multiple files at t1 speed?

[resopalrabotnick]

you should be able to split the 24 lines (making it 64k intervals) any way you please. this is of course providing your telco lets you. you can, depending again on telco support, get a blockl of extension numbers for the t1 line. using multiple t1s should not be a problem providing you have enough wires into the building from the telco and you have the appropriate hardware to loadbalance onto them.

as for multiple files at t1 speed, can you start 10 files on your 3mbit cable line and receive each one at 3mbit? that should make the naswer obvious.

No im talking about if there bonded will you be able to do one file at 3 meg or 1 at 1.5 and then another at 1.5 , basically will the speeds be combined?

[resopalrabotnick]

if you combine them you will be able to use the bandwidth as you please. just like with your regular connection.

Are you asking if you can combine two T1's to get 3Mb? I have no idea.

[resopalrabotnick]

either yourt telco will offer a product with tywo combined t1s or you will have to use load balancers to achieve the speed. but you can basically combine any number of t1s, that is what the t2 and 3 connections are. but unless you have a shitload of wiring already coming into your building you will probably need to go fiber for that.
