T1
T1 internet is a Public Service Commission regulated utility adapted specifically for business service. As such, T1 services have strict service requirements which drive up the provider's maintenance costs and may require them to have a technician on standby 24 hours a day to repair the line if it malfunctions. (In comparison, Cable Internet and DSL are not regulated by the Public Service Commissions at all.)
Due to the expensive and regulated nature of T1 lines, they are normally installed under the provisions of a written agreement, the contract term being typically one to three years. However, there are usually few restrictions to an end-user's use of a T1, uptime and bandwidth data rates may be guaranteed, quality of service may be supported, and blocks of static IP addresses are commonly included.
