A Business Started with a T1 line and Home Made Servers

I always read T1 related industry news and even come across articles that just mention the use of a T1 line in passing. I like to relate practical uses and what t1 is and who uses it.

The answer is really just about any business that uses a communications line for internet, voice, data, or all of the above. Typically an "internet" company comes to mind. And even when some startups can't afford an office or servers, they know that a T1 line is sometimes essential.

A lot of small business balk at the cost of a T1. Even though the price has come down a lot recently- $300-400 is a typical starting price- many small business owners want to roll with residential services to save a buck. When a prospective client says " But I can get Time Warner for 50 bucks" I know there isn't much hope convincing them otherwise.

Other entrepreneurs and small business owners know what they need. Take Vivek Bhaskaran, the CEO of Survey Analytics. Seattle Times describes how his frugality led to his successful startup. Yet notice, the t1 line was essential:
"Bhaskaran was too cheap to buy or rent servers. He built three from scratch, ran a T1 line to his garage and opened up shop."
