What Services Does the Telecom Broker Network Provide?

Internet T1:
A T1 local access connection to the Internet that can be configured to carry either 24 digitized data channels or one aggregated concatenated data channel at a rate of 1.544 Megabits Per Second (Mbps) that is connected via a T1 Wan Interface Card (WIC), Channel Service Unit / Data Service Unit (CSU/DSU), and Internet router.





DIRECTV:
The absolute best in HD Satellite TV home entertainment. With over 250 channels of sports, movies, news, weather, local, and national programs over 100% digital signaling, DIRECTV, sometimes spelled incorrectly as DIRECT TV or DIRECTTV, is the industry leader in the United States serving over 16 million customers with award-winning content, customer service and technical support.

You can install DIRECTV if you live in a multi-tenant buildings such as condos, apartments, and etc. The first qualifying consideration is to make sure that you have a clear line of sight to the Southern sky. In a multi-tenant building, if you are located on the lower floors, you may run into a problem where an object or a building might be block the line of sight to the DIRECTV satellite in the Southern sky. In most cases, you would want to consult with your landlord or property manager about installing a DIRECTV satellite dish on the roof or other suitable location on the building.

If your property manager or landlord does not allow placing a satellite dish on the roof, you may request to install the DIRECTV dish on your balcony, patio, or other suitable location. Sometimes the installation of your DIRECTV system (dish and/or converter units) may require structural changes that might be restricted or limited by the lease. In these cases, to avoid delays and possible problems in installation of your DIRECTV system, we recommend that you obtain a written or verbal permission from your property management and/or the landlord. You can also review your lease agreement to confirm permission before scheduling installation with DIRECTV and you can use the DIRECTV Installation Permission Form to document the permission. Unreasonable restrictions enforced by the property managers or landlords against installing satellite dishes that are a meter or less in size are prohibited by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).










VoIP:

Telecom Brokerage and Consultant Services:
Multi-Site National and Global Network Solutions: As your organization grows, so does the importance of telecommunications integration and coordination. For example, we can design a Virtual Private Network (VPN) or Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Network that can connect all of your locations to enable sensitive data to flow back and forth at a high speed without the risk of interception. Call us at (888) 255-5859.




MPLS
MPLS VPNs use Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) to set up Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) that can isolate data traffic to provide Class of Service (CoS), Quality of Service (QoS), and ease network administration with minimal network overhead. Layer 3 MPLS VPNs (L3VPNs) use BGP, traffic isolation and Virtual Routing / Forwarding (VRF) for network routing and security. MPLS VPNs are more efficient and robust than IPSec VPN, ATM, MPLS L3VPNs.

Layer 2 MPLS VPNs (L2VPNs) are similar to Frame Relay, Asynchronous Transfer Mode, or point-to-point Wide Area Networks (WANs). MPLS VPNs transport layer 2 packets across the network and encapsulate transport protocols such as ATM, Ethernet, and SONET, allowing MPLS networks to seemlessly upgrade and replace legacy layer 2 networks without requiring network reconfiguration or using protocols higher than layer 2. In comparison, layer 3 VPNs must use the layer 3 Internet Protocol (IP).




Internet over Ethernet:
Ethernet access to the Internet is quickly becomming a popular service. Ethernet, which is usually thought of as the protocol used to connect computers and servers on a local area network (LAN), is now increasingly being used across metropolitan wide area networks (WANS) to connect corporate LANs to the Internet. The advantage of Ethernet Internet Access service is that connection speeds that range from 1 Megabit per Second (Mbps) to 1 Gigabit per Second (Gbps) can be accessed via the same protocol being used on corporate LANs.

The wide-spread use of Ethernet has reduced the cost of Ethernet switches and also the space required to deploy Ethernet networks either via twisted pair copper or fiber and virtually all computer manufacturers include an Ethernet card as a standard component on Personal Computer (PC) motherboards which eliminates having to install an Ethernet card as a peripheral device.




Digital Subscriber Line Service (DSL):
Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) connects end users (subscribers) to the Internet via a plain old telephone service (POTS) line that uses an existing copper pair but has been sped up by a Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) located at the service provider centeral office (CO) to form a continuous digital high-speed data connection from the customer premise to the Internet.

Asymetric DSL (ADSL) allows more bandwidth to move data toward the end user (multimedia and text) than from the end user (mostly keystrokes and mouse behavior) to the Internet. The downstream receiving rate from the Internet usually varies from 1.5 to 9Mbps while the upstream sending rate usually varies from 16 to 640 Kbps. The main limitation on bandwidth speeds available is the distance from the customer premise to the local telephone company central office.




Wireless Internet Service:
Satellite Wireless Internet is a new way to access the Internet at high speeds from anywhere in the United States. Satellite Wireless Internet is delivered via satellites that orbit the Earth while transmitting and receiving high frequency radio internet data to a small dish located at the customer premise. This two-way satellite radio system is reliable, easy to set up and is mobile. You can move the subscriber satellite dish and re-connect with ease.

HughesNet offers high-speed Satellite Wireless Internet service satellite internet (sometimes incorrectly spelled satelite internet) to subscribers who are in remote locations or unique locations where DSL or other types of Internet access is unavailable. All you need to connect to HughesNet is an unobstructed view of the southern sky. Please click on the banner below for more information.

 DSL Speed Tests

Written by: Patrick Oborn - Jan 6, 2009


Ever wonder how fast your connection is? Are you really getting the 1.5Mbps that was promised to you? Me neither! The fact is, DSL is highly over subscribed. Oversubscription means that many people are pulling from the same resource. This results in slowdowns and it means you and I aren't getting the speed we signed up for. The best way to confirm this is through DSL Speed Test.

A DSL Speed Test is a great way to find out what kind of speed you're really getting. Is your connection really slow or is it just the fast that you're working with an old, slow, or over tasked computer? Simply find the DSL Speed Test by performing a search on Google and you'll quickly be on your way to finding out what you're really getting. You'll have to shut down your programs that are accessing the net and then perform the test which takes 30 seconds or so. It's very important to shut down programs accessing the net because these will impair the test and will cause your connection to appear slower than it actually is since some of it is being used.

When you find your speed is not what you signed up for you may want to try a few "tweaks". DSL Reports has a free downloads of DSL Tweaks that will allow you to modify your settings and some of your software to be faster on the net. What the DSL Speed Test will likely tell you, however is that you're not getting the speed you signed up for and unfortunately there's not much you can do about it. You can certainly call your provider and let them know you're not pleased but the reduction in speed can be caused by your distance from the CO or bad wiring in the area.
