Analog T1 line vs. Digital T1 line

----

An analog T1 line for us is about $250 US and can get us 23 voice
lines.

Does anyone know what the capacity for a digital T1 line is? Also,
what is the approximate cost?


Any help would be appreciated, thanks!!

1.544 megabits per second. Cost varies all over the map, depending
on termination (ISP), distance, class of service, etc. $800/month is
a number that sticks in my head, though I've seen it for much less,
and as high as $9K/month.

Fractional T1 service can give you some number of 56 kilobit channels,
but can be _more_ expensive than full T1 service. 8*}

I thought all T1's were digital? Wouldn't an "analog T1" just be 24 POTS
lines?

Cost will be all over the board. Where are you located?

Naah... T-1s carry all kinda data, including NTSC video, and such lines
IIRC are oft do described. Don't know if they're useful for VOIP
telephony, though.

There is no such thing as an "analog T1" as someone else already
pointed out. A T1 also has 24 voice channels, not 23, ISDN PRI only has
23 because one is lost for D channel signalling.

See above.

You really haven't given anyone near enough information about
what you're trying to do, what market you are in (the pricing is likely
to vary based on where you are), etc... so how do expect accurate
answers?

Why are you posting in the voip newsgroup? Is it related or
you're not even sure about that?
