DS3 vs Multiple T1 Lines
Bonding T1 lines for greater bandwidth is a good value up to about 8x or 9x bonding. Above that, it makes better economic sense to order DS3 service over fiber or T3 copper line. In metropolitan areas with high levels of buildout, the decision point may be less than 8 T1 lines.

Colocation is Often Cost Effective Bandwidth
Colocation is locating your servers in a colocation facility, also known as a carrier hotel. Advantages of this approach include ready availability of low cost bandwidth including DS3, Carrier Ethernet and SONET Fiber Optic OCx options. These data centers also offer backup power, environmental control and high levels of security.

DS3 for Call Center Telephony
DS3 voice service can support up to 672 simultaneous telephone conversations without blocking. If your call center or large corporate PBX system requires this number of outside lines, DS3 is likely far more cost effective than ordering the equivalent 28 T1 lines.

DS3 as Ethernet Transport
DS3 bandwidth at 45 Mbps can easily transport 10 Mbps Ethernet over SONET or T3 line, even with the additional overhead needed to convert from packet to TDM back to packet protocol. For Fast Ethernet transport, an OC3 service at 155 Mbps would be required.

What is DS3 over Copper?
DS3oC, or DS3 over Copper, is a last mile connectivity solution that delivers high bandwidth service where fiber optic connections are unavailable or not cost effective to construct. Instead, standard twisted pair copper wires like those used for telephone or T1 line service provide the link from the carrier POP to your building. Multiple pairs and special modulation schemes are used to provision carrier-grade DS3 service on copper wiring.
