T1 service in Laval 1

[fs483]

Hello,

I'm thinking of adding a T1 service to my office. I want to know if it's possible to have a T1 service on the same physical line/number that already has an ADSL service (I don't think so but need to confirm). I currently have 2 physical lines/numbers and each one has an ADSL service. I want to avoid adding another physical line/number just to add the T1 service. One of my customer has an ADSL service on a line that doesn't have dialtone so I'm thinking that might be a way to go. I wonder if that can be done with a T1.

I've already contacted Telus, BellNexxia, AT&T, Sprint and AllStream and waiting for their sales reps to call me back. Are there any other providers in the Laval area ? What kind of questions should I ask and what kind of service garantees that I should expect with a T1 service ?

Thanks
anthony

Dex,

You are correct. Also the CSU loopback, if it fails, does not truly sectionalize to Telco versus CPE.

It was a big mistake for Judge Green to have made Network Channel Terminating Equipment (the generic term that applies to CSU, NT1 and other similar boxes) CPE.

It meant that the Telco's had to go and duplicate this function.

Oh well....

Hmmm....

Usually if I can get to a CSU, and stress the circuit with a 55 Octet, 3/24 or something along those lines for a good long time without any problems, I usually refer the customer back to their vendor.

I've seen smartjacks do some weird things, but once I hit the CSU, I'm pretty much satisfied that a problem is external to the T1.
