DS1 prices are determined by many factors. These include geographic location, bandwidth requirements, type of DS1 (DS1 is also commonly referred to as T1), and market conditions. Geographic location is a price factor because costs generally increase with distance from the telephone company’s central office or point of presence (POP).

Written by: Dennis Green - Nov 22, 2008 Long distance T1 is an excellent solution for companies which pay more than $500 per month for their long distance telephone service. $500 is provided as a break even point because a long distance T1 circuit costs between $100 and $300 per month, depending on the location of your company. Businesses which can justify the monthly reoccurring charge of a long distance circuit, will experience significantly reduced per minute charges for their domestic long distance usage. For example, businesses which use switched long distance service commonly pay between three and six cents per minute for their outgoing out of state, and incoming out of state toll free (800#) calls. With a long distance t1 circuit however, these companies can reduce these costs to a penny a minute for outgoing out-of-state calls, and 1.2 cents per minute for incoming toll free lines. There is also significant savings for in-state long distance with a long distance T1, however, specifics cannot be provided in this article due varying tariffs on in-state long distance rates, which vary in each state. These tariffs only apply to in-state long distance calls. They do not apply to out of state calls. Each long distance T1 provides 24 phone circuits. Each long distance T1 PRI provides 23 usable voice circuits. The limitation of long distance t1 is that it does not facilitate free local calling. If free local calls are needed, then local voice T1 might be a better option. If the majority of a company's calls are long distance, then integrated local and long distance t1 might be preferable, or a long distance T1 in conjunction with a few POTS (Plain old telephone service) lines. To obtain a specific price for a long distance T1 circuit for your business location, simply complete the short form at the top of this page. It is free and there is no obligation.
