DS3 Service in the Illinois Market Written by - Patrick Shmidt, Senior Editor Searching for a DS1 in Illinois? Bandwidth has never been cheaper and Illinois is no exception to this. Many telecom companies built out their infrastructure in Metro cities and with the crash that has taken place since 1999 many of these companies have seen the usage of their pipes decrease significantly. The infrastructure that was laid is a fixed cost that Illinois companies are eager to recover. The result of the reduced number of businesses in the market seeking service and the drop in pricing has created a buyers market. In a buyers market remember that you can push and probably get concessions from the carrier but also remember that all Illinois carriers are not created equally. Many carriers may appear to offer a bargain price but you may be several hops from the internet and have a problem with latency. You may also be using a small carrier that hasn't actually checked the capacity of the CO before you sign your contract and can't even deliver the service they promised. The only way you'll discover this is when you start using your connection and find that at peak traffic times your Illinois connection is bogged down at a level below that which was guaranteed. We suggest when dealing with a larger pipe you consider the larger Tier1 providers. You can still get a great price even though it's not as low as some of the Tier 1 and Tier 3 Illinois companies. You'll also have the peace of mind knowing that you have an SLA and the company will deliver what you believe you will get. If you're in the market of a DS3, communications are vital to your company. Make sure you get both a reliable product and the price you're looking for. If you need help finding such a service, consider speaking with the professionals at ShopforT1.
