Features

Dedicated Internet Access service is a dedicated point-to-point digital data service that transmits at speeds of Fractional T1 and higher directly connected to the Internet. Service providers, which include IXCs, ILECs, and resellers, provide various options for monitoring, diagnostic capabilities, and transmission privacy. Dedicated Internet Access service is designed to transmit data in a digital format from end user to the Internet; therefore, the signal is high quality, very reliable, and secure.

The pricing structure usually consists of two components: (1) transmission speed and (2) a fixed rate for central office termination (a.k.a access charge or local loop). The service providers usually bill these charges monthly.  The table below shows the transmission rate options for private line service.
