What Is T-3 Carrier?

You're always on the go, and your high-speed Internet service must be too. With a T-3 Internet connection, you can download files in seconds and access websites faster. No more waiting for pictures or video clips to load. With T-3, you'll get the speed of 3 T-1 lines in one Internet connection. Unlike some other providers' inferior DSL service, if you get a T-3 from us, you also get unlimited local calling and no long-distance charges from our network to any U.S. location--without using minutes on your phone! A T-3 connection equals 10–15 individual usage-based DSL or cable connections. As of 2017, we have also seen a few companies offering connections as residential services. Since it is a carrier-grade connection suitable for severe data transfer and voice applications, such as high-definition video conferencing, T-3 can handle heavy usage, such as large file transfers, without slowing down or dropping connections. T-3 connections are commonly used by businesses, especially those requiring high-bandwidth connections, such as data warehouses, gaming servers, and video streaming T-3 carriers to deliver high-bandwidth online services. They are used for hosting websites and other large-scale network solutions. The T-3 page is a highly reliable, cost-effective alternative to private lines. It makes them ideal for large offices and organizations requiring daily high bandwidth levels. Using a T-3 line as a backup or disaster recovery (DR) connection is not recommended. T-3 lines are most commonly used to transfer large volumes of data from mainframe computers, mainframe data transfer units, or other large computer systems. T-3 lines also move large volumes of data from other T-3 lines. T-3 Carrier is the evolution of high-speed internet. No more waiting all day for the cable guy to show up and no more dealing with satellite issues of poor reception and slow speeds. With speeds of up to 45 Mbps down and 15 Mbps up, T-3 connects you to your family's favorite sites faster than ever.
