Choosing Broadband Services - A Guide For Businesses

With so many telecom services out there choosing the right one for your business can be challenging. Here is a guide to help you understand some of the main telecom choices that you have and what they mean to you.

The main types of lines available are T-1, DSL and OC circuits.

Generally speaking, faster speeds indicate larger bandwidth. The larger bandwidth is useful for large applications such as large data file transfers and streaming video. The large bandwidth also sets up your business to allow for future applications that may require additional bandwidth.

T1 - A high-speed digital connection that transmits data at a speed of 1.544Mbps. A T1 consists of 24 channels, which can be used for voice, data or a configuration of both. Each T1 can provide service for up to 50 to 100 phone users.

DSL - Digital subscriber line. A high-speed/broadband connection whose speed varies depending on the distance to the central office. The popularity of the DSL has been taken over by the T1. Unlike the T1, there are distance limitations. Cheaper than the T1, a DSL line is usually not covered by increased customer service like the T1.

T3 - A T3 is a high speed digital connection that transmits data at a speed of 43.232 megabits per second. The T3 is equivalent to 28 T1s. The T3 can handle even the most bandwidth intensive applications easily.

OC3 - Optical Carrier line that transmits at speeds up to 51.84 Mbps. The OC line uses optical fiber or SONET fiber optic to carry signals. The number behind the OC stands for the level of data transmission speed. An OC3 is equal to 84 T1s.

OC12 - An optical carrier line that transmits data at speeds of 622 megabits per second. This large bandwidth product is equal to 4 OC3's.

OC48 - A very large optical carrier that can transmit at speeds up to 2.5 gigabits per second. The OC48 is used for very large campus environments or as network backbones. The OC48 is equal to 4 OC12's.

What Do You Get From A Proxy Server?

What do you think of when you hear the words proxy server? If you're like me, the first thing it makes you think of is something like "Night at the Roxbury". It is just the "x" that gets me I guess. Kind of silly isn't it? However, the truth is that it is nothing like that. How much do you know about proxy servers? Here we will briefly go over what exactly a proxy server is and some of the benefits you will enjoy while using one.

A proxy server actually does a few things you may not be aware of. It lets you surf the web without anyone knowing it was you! Does that sound absurd? It isn't. There are many reasons and occasions when people do not want to be detected while viewing certain websites.

Some of these instances to use a proxy server would be if you are at school. It's likely that the computers at your school prohibit you from accessing certain websites, or certain types of websites. Your internet surfing behavior is often monitored. Maybe you have tried to visit something during a break only to find you were unable to. This is probably because it was blocked.

The same is true of many workplaces today. You will be unable to visit websites that they have already blocked on their computers.

However, by using proxy servers you will normally be able to unblock and access these pages. Many people use proxy servers to be able to surf the internet, and websites of their choice anonymously.

Anonymous surfing is not the only use for proxy servers though. They can also increase the speed and effectiveness of your internet connection in some cases. Whenever it is used on a network of computers, it will automatically save information, files, and web pages that are commonly accessed. This saves time from retrieving the information individually each time someone new tries to access it.

This is called a "cache." When someone requests a web page for example, by trying to view it, the proxy server will check the cache first to see if it is there. If it is, the information will be provided quicker than if it isn't.

Lastly, proxy servers are an effective tool in hiding your IP address. When you go on the internet and visit a website, you can be leaving behind traces of your identity like you IP address. Hackers can get this information and even gain access to your personal computer and hard drive. Therefore, it can be very important to hide information like this from others.

Overall, by using a proxy server you can help ensure that you are safe. There are many places that enable you to use a proxy server via their websites. By doing this you will be keeping your information private, safe, and out of dangerous hands. You are also able to surf to websites of your choice anonymously, even if they are normally "blocked" on the computer that you are using.
