Uses & Types of T3 Circuits

Written by: DirectGlobal Communications - Dec 3, 2008

A T3 circuit is the ideal solution for businesses that require high-bandwidth access at a reasonable price. Whether you host high-traffic web sites, support web hosting or need high-capacity bandwidth on an as-needed basis, there's a level of T3 service (Full or fractional) that will meet your needs.

Fractional T3 Customers with other access options such as T1 lines can rapidly and easily switch their access solution to a single Fractional T3. Fractional T3 is more suitable for customers who expect their bandwidth requirements to increase steadily and/or continually in the near future.

Burstable T3 Burstable T3 is a dedicated point-to-point circuit from a customer's premises to an Internet hub. It is priced in billing tiers of 1.5 Mbps increments from 6 Mbps to 45 Mbps. As a Burstable T3 customer, you always have the full T3 bandwidth available over an unshared, non-fractional 45 Mbps digital leased line.

Tiered T3 For customers who have predictable bandwidth needs, the Tiered T3 is available in capped 3 Mbps increments and allows you to choose your usage level at a predetermined monthly cost.
