T1 Service continues to be the backbone of business communications for the past 30 years. We have seen T1 Pricing driven down year in year out. Is T1 Service obsolete? No not, the embedded purchase of copper wires is way too great to become abandoned just yet. T1′s will continue to offer service to small and medium sized business’s key systems and PBX systems for a long period. T1′s and HDSL delivery will still be the most efficient means for business data, phone and The internet in areas where fiber is not deployed.

As T1 Pricing is approaching $200/month in most areas T1 Service just makes a lot of business and financial sense to get abandoned temporarily. Fiber optic service is deployed in several urban areas as well as in those areas direct Ethernet connections include the most effective for businesses and data centers with large data bandwidth requirements. During areas with robust fiber optic deployments T1′s could be the way for providing last-mile connectivity for some time. Or in plain english, T1′s continue to work with the embedded copper wire base to gain access to fiber optic transport facilities for countless years.

If you take into account the demographics of the US, many people do live in towns where it’s affordable to deploy fiber optic based services. However take into account the thousands of small , medium sized cities in rural areas that will not see widespread fiber optic data service deployments for many years. In many of the country T1 service will reliably serve those areas for a long time.
