While many people predicted the end of price erosion for DS3 bandwidth it continues to fall. Service providers are up against stiffer competition and are desperate for new customers to fill their pipes and turn a profit. Are you ready to negotiate for a rock bottom price? Before you do, consider a few of the reasons for the drop in price on DS3 bandwith.
DS3 bandwidth pricing had reduced as companies have gone out of business and the large number of telecommunications companies are fighting for a place in a smaller market. While many service providers did have room to lose margin, many have come dangerously close to the edge of selling circuits at a loss and many have gone beyond this point. It seems that in the race to the bottom many providers failed to learn the lesson that selling at a loss does not create a long lasting and healthy company no matter how many circuits or widgets you sell. Many companies selling at a loss have already been in bankruptcy and look like they will repeat this exercise as they did not learn from their first go around. So, solvency of the DS3 bandwidth provider should be a consideration when looking at great bargains.
Another consideration in bargain shopping for DS3 service is the fact that all DS3's are not created equal. Many providers are convinced (and rightly so) that customers are focused on price and are not concerned with quality of service. Many providers are now oversubscribing DS3 service connections as though they were DSL connections. This means you may not get the bandwidth you thought you would get. Make sure when you look for that bargain price you also reveiw the SLA (Service Level Agreement) and make sure the contract protects you and guarantees you will get the bandwidth to which they committed. Remember, when bargain hunting for DS3 service you'll most likely get what you pay for.
===============================================================
Telecommunications contracts can be much like a marriage and as we all know there are good and bad marriages. The fact is, when you enter into a telecommunications contract with a DS3 Bandwidth provider for reasonable amount of bandwidth or voice service you will have to enter into a long term contract.
Telecommunications contracts for T1 and DS'3s/T3's typically range from 1 years to 3 years. Anything longer than a 3 year contract is usually only seen in very large applicatons like OC3 and OC12 or complex frame relay connections with many nodes. While the term of the contract will not be a problem if you have the right provider, the contract could prove extrememly burdomsome with the wrong provider.
We suggest using a broker to walk you through your options and show you the providers and services available. A broker or independent agent can help reduce the time it takes you to shop around for a DS3 provider by asking you the questions once and searching through multiple providers to get the service that is right for you. The agent helps steer clear of the bias you will receive when speaking with one vendor as the agent will be paid no matter which service you choose. As the agent doesn't work with a specific provider like AT&T or Sprint, he or she will not push you in that direction if they are not right for you.
Remember that the DS3 Bandwidth provider you select will be your partner for quite some time so take caution in your decision. The worst part of being with a bad provider is the fact that it will affect your business. Dropped calls or an internet connection that goes down can be disastrous to a business. We found that the larger companies like AT&T and Sprint will release companies from long term contracts it if is shown that the voice or data DS3 service was faulty on a regular basis, however the release from such a contract will not help recoup the damages of the lost calls and e-mails from the poor service. When shopping for a DS3 provider we suggest using a broker and asking for referals from current customers to give you an indication of what you can expect.
To meet the growing demands for speed and bandwidth in voice and data communications....companies are turning to high speed DS3 circuits to cover all their internet capacity and reliability requirements. Choosing DS3 is also cost effective as a single DS3 costs equal to 4-10 T1/DS1s. To better equip you to make and implement this critical business decision....we highly recommend you read the white paper "The Fundamentals Of DS3".

Written by: Michael Lemm - Nov 21, 2008 What Is A NxT1? (otherwise known as a bonded T1 line) With the NxT1 access option (also called a bonded T1 line), the user can obtain bandwidth above 1.5 Mbps (a single T1 bandwidth circuit) without requiring DS3 access. A bonded T1 or NxT1 connects 2, 3 or 4 dedicated T1 circuits (3 Mbps, 4.5 Mbps or 6 Mbps, respectively). NxT1 Access is provided through a combination of software and hardware components, giving greater bandwidth by automatically load balancing traffic over multiple T1 bandwidth links. At 1.5 Mbps, T1 lines simply do not have sufficient bandwidth to deal with the new demands being made on networks. Yet fiber-based T3 circuits are overkill for many small and midsized businesses. T3 provides 45-Mbps bandwidth, but it comes at a steep premium: T3 circuits lease for upwards of $3,000 a month, compared to as low as $400 for T1 lines. Moreover, T3 circuits are not easily available to many businesses, while T1 lines are ubiquitous. The price/bandwidth/availability gap between TI and T3 is sending businesses and service providers alike scrambling for cost-effective ways to fill needs. They are finding that, because until recently there was little demand for bandwidth between T1 and T3, no one has developed a truly effective means to fill the T1-T3 gap. Many business users expected that digital subscriber line technology, cable, wireless, or ATM would solve the gap problem. For a variety of reasons, however, ranging from insufficient bandwidth to asymmetric bandwidth (bandwidth upstream is lower than bandwidth downstream), efficiency, or cost, no one technology offers all the characteristics required by business applications. Asymmetrical DSL is primarily a residential service and is focused on universal ADSL (UADSL), promises to offer speeds up to 7 Mbps downstream. However, it suffers from a low upstream speed of only 768 kbps today. In addition, ADSL has very limited deployment. DSL in general also suffers from a lack of standards and from bandwidth variation depending on the location, length, and quality of the copper lines. Now, there is an exciting, new approach to bundling T1 circuits that solves the issues that limited the value of earlier NxT1 solutions, promising to finally fill the T1-T3 gap. This solution employs the industry standard Multilink Point to Point Protocol and Multilink Frame Relay protocol to bundle multiple T1 and fractional T1 lines, creating a single, symmetrical, virtual multimegabit access path with bandwidth equivalent to that of the aggregated copper lines. For instance, a multimegabit circuit created by bundling together six T1 lines will behave as a single circuit with approximately six times the throughput of a single T1 line but only one-sixth of the latency. The solution is scalable, enabling businesses to start with network access at 1.5 Mbps and move upward as their bandwidth requirements grow. What Is The Advantage Of NxT1 Or Bonded T1 Bandwidth? A principal advantage to purchasing multiple T1 circuits is the attainment of diversity across carrier backbones when used with a bundling protocol such as Border Gate Protocol or Cisco Express Forwarding. Where Can You Obtain A NxT1 Or Bonded T1 Bandwidth Solution? I suggest you use the free consulatative and rate quote service provided by ShopForT1 and FreedomFire Communications. They'll research the best available solution for your specific location, application(s), and requirements including comparing multiple providers and negotiating the most cost effective package for your needs.
