DS1 Voice Definition Continued.

Larger companies, however, instead use DS1 or larger (bonded DS1, fractional DS3, or full DS30) to purchase their voice lines in quantity. This often results in significant cost savings. If a small company only needs 3 or 4 phones, and has no internet connection or data networking needs, then buying lines from the local phone company is often the best option. If however, a company needs 4 or more phone lines and a stable internet connection as well, then obtaining a DS1 line will often provide the best option. A DS1 circuit provides phone and internet lines in quantities that will often provide cost savings over purchasing phone lines and internet connection separately. For companies which do not need 24 lines of either phone or internet service, an integrated DS1 line is also a very cost effective option. With integrated DS1, channels can be configured in any combination of voice or internet to provide both types of service over one DS1 line. DS1 voice can be provided as either local or long distance circuits. With local voice DS1, long distance service is included at retail per minute price rates. With long distance voice DS1, however, the local exchange carrier is bypassed. The disadvantage of a long distance DS1 is that because the local exchange carrier (LEC) is bypassed, free local calls cannot be made over a long distance DS1. The advantage of a long distance voice DS1 is that because the local exchange provider is bypassed, they cannot charge their usual connection charges. This results in significant savings on long distance calls, sometimes as low as 1.2 cents per minute. Due to the monthly reoccurring charges that come with long distance DS1 voice lines, they do not provide savings unless the customer averages about $800. or more in retail long distance usage. For all long distance users who pay $800. or more monthly for long distance charges, long distance DS1 provides profound savings. (Click here to return to top of page)
