| Performance |
T-1 Business Internet accesses to the Internet at speeds up to 1.5 mbps
In general, T-1 circuits have higher performance, lower latency, and increased reliability versus DSL.
WCIX offers 'Tier 1', blended 'Tier 2' bandwidth, and low-cost bandwidth based on availability. The perceived benefit of a Tier 1 provider is its backbone. A Tier 1 provider takes you from the West Coast to the East Coast in one big hop, with lower latency than other providers. Additionally, Tier 1 providers have better peering and routing, resulting in faster delivery of your traffic.
A 'Tier 1' Provider's service is usually more costly then what a 'Tier 2' or low-cost Provider may charge, because the Tier 1 provider offers a very extensive network, reliability and quality service. However, if there is a major problem on that service providers network, your service will be negatively impacted
Blended 'Tier 2' bandwidth, available in some locations, is multi-homed bandwidth to multiple 'Tier 1' and 'Tier 2' service providers. The benefit is that if there is a problem with one provider, WCIX simply stops using that provider and routes around them.
Using bandwidth from low-cost providers MAY result in reduced performance (higher latency, higher packet loss, more outages) However, many companies feel that their connectivity is not mission critical and are seeking a low cost solution
