Single Point of Contact's Bandwidth Partners
At Single Point of Contact, we maintain partnerships with a number of internet bandwidth providers. Check the links below for service offerings and specials from each of our partners.
 |
AT&T offers solutions in key areas such as voice, broadband Internet, messaging, wireless and advertising, as well as the expertise to assist small businesses, which often have minimal in-house communications and IT support. |
 |
Using Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and a 100% Cisco network, Cbeyond delivers to small business customers an integrated package of high quality local and long distance telephony services, high-speed, T-1 Internet access and Internet-based applications for about the same price that small businesses typically pay for local and long distance phone service alone. |
 |
Comcast is the country’s largest provider of cable services - and one of the world’s leading communications companies. They focus on broadband cable, commerce, and content, delivering digital services, providing faster Internet and clearer broadband phone service, and developing and delivering innovative programming.
|
 |
Cogent is a multinational Tier 1 Internet service provider consistently ranked as one of the top five networks in the world. Cogent's primary service offering consists of Internet access and data transport, offered over their award-winning fiber optic, IP data-only network, along with colocation in any of their 36 Internet Data Centers.
|
 |
As the first company to commercially deploy DSL in the United States, their heritage is broadband innovation. Covad owns and operates the largest national broadband network, and is the only national facilities-based provider of data, voice, and wireless telecommunications solutions for small and medium-sized businesses. |
 |
As the champion for small businesses nationwide, Speakeasy is focused on simplifying business communications. They offer high-quality voice, data and IT solutions with the convenience of a single supplier, simple pricing, and a single bill. They ensure customers' success with a private nationwide network and extraordinary customer support. |
 |
Since 1998, TelePacific has been providing small- and medium-sized businesses with the level of service usually reserved for only the largest customers of the big telecom service providers. They have more than 50,000 customers with over a million lines in service. TelePacific offers services from 5 lines to 500, everything from bite-sized voice and data solutions that start at just 5 phone lines all the way to bonded PRIs and high-speed Internet access up to DS3. |
 |
XO Communications is one of the nation’s largest communications service providers focused exclusively on businesses, government, and carrier and wholesale service providers nationwide. XO® Business Services provides managed services and converged Internet Protocol (IP) network services that combine voice, Internet access, and private data networking for small and medium sized companies, enterprises, national and government accounts. |
Bandwidth Service Technologies
Through our partners, at Single Point of Contact we are able to provide connectivity through several different network technologies. These different services enable us to provide you just the right amount of bandwidth you need for your business - whether it be for a small company with one computer or a large business with 500.

DSL
DSL or xDSL is a family of technologies that provides digital data transmission over the wires of a local telephone network. The download speed of consumer DSL services typically ranges from 256 kilobits per second (kbit/s) to 24,000 kbit/s, depending on DSL technology, line conditions and service-level implementation. |
 |
Cable
Cable Internet access (often called simply cable Internet) is a form of broadband Internet access that uses the cable television (CATV) infrastructure. Like all residential broadband technologies, such as DSL, a population of users share the available bandwidth. Downstream bit rates can be as much 400 megabits per second for business connections, and 100 Mbit/s for residential service in some counties. Upstream traffic, originating at the user, ranges from 384 Kbit/s to more than 20 Mbit/s. |
 |
BRI (ISDN)
The Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) is one of the oldest high-speed bandwidth technologies still in use. A BRI (or Basic Rate Interface) is the typical entry-level ISDN connection, and offers two 64 kbit/s channels for transmitting data, voice, and video. Due to their greater capacity, most ISDN lines today are PRI or Bundled PRI services. |
 |
T1
Digital signal 1 (DS1, also known as T1, sometimes "DS-1") is a T-carrier signaling scheme widely used in telecommunications in North America and Japan to transmit voice and data between devices. A DS1 circuit is made up of twenty-four 8-bit channels (also known as timeslots or DS0s), each channel being a 64 kbit/s DS0 multiplexed carrier circuit. Since a T1 line has the same high bandwidth in both directions this gives you an advantage over cable and DSL as they tend have a large downlink bandwidth but a small uplink bandwidth. |
 |
Bonded T1
Bonded T1 is a set of two or more T1 lines (from the same provider) which have been joined together in a special way so that you can use the combined total data/voice bandwidth. Typical installations bond two to four lines (granting approx. 3 - 6 Mbit/s), with an absolute maximum of eight lines. |
 |
PRI
A PRI (or Primary Rate Interface) is a special T1 line that is optimized for voice transmissions. It features 23 lines preset for transmitting voice, reserving the 24th channel to signal and provide dynamic assignment of the other lines. |
 |
Flex Trunk / PRI Bundle
A Flex Trunk or PRI Bundle delivers both voice and data over a high capacity T-1, customizing the voice/data allocation to meet the needs of your business. This dynamically allocated service uses your idle phone channels to boost the capacity of your data access when your phones are not in use. Your bandwidth automatically adjusts based on the number of voice channels utilized at any given moment. |
 |
Fiber
Optical fiber is used by many telecommunications companies to transmit telephone signals, Internet communication, and cable television signals. Due to much lower attenuation and interference, optical fiber has large advantages over existing copper wire in long-distance and high-demand applications. FTTP (Fiber to the Premises) involves laying optical fiber from a central location to a termination point (the home or business), and could potentially deliver broadband at speeds of up to 100Mbps. |
 |
Dark Fiber
Optical fiber refers to fiber-optic cable that's already been laid, but is not yet in use. During the late 1990s, telecommunications companies laid enormous amounts of fiber obtic cabling. When the dot-com bust left these companies with thousands of miles of unused cable, and further advances in technology rendered those cables in use capable of carrying far more data then they currently use, even today. As a result, the telecom giants have recently begun selling and/or leasing these unused pipelines, allowing businesses to own their own networks. |
 |
OC-1 / OC-3
An Optical Carrier line, typically offered as an OC-1 or an OC-3 line, is an ultra-fast, dedicated-line data connection. A signle OC-1 line offers up to 51.8 Mbps bandwidth, roughly the equivelant of 34 T1 lines or 9 T3s, with OC-3 offering 155.5 Mbps throughput—three times that of an OC-1. Using the Packet over SONET (POS) technology, an OC line maximizes bandwidth and reduces inefficiencies in data delivery. |
