About the presentation:

Which of the many Internet Access options are best? If Telecom service is critical to an organization's mission, cost may not be the primary consideration. This presentation will review reliability, bandwidth consistency, and quality of DSL, Cable, FiOS, Satellite, T1, DS3, OC3, OCx, Fast Ethernet, GIG-E and varieties of Fixed Wireless connections. It will address such questions as: 

1. Is cable really faster that DSL? 
2. How does VoIP fare over the different services? 
3. Is FiOS a replacement for T1 service? Isn't it faster? 
4. What is an Integrated T1? 
5. What is EoC and EoD? 

Although some of the discussion, especially the first part, will be useful to an individual, the later parts of the presentation are mainly applicable only to organizations for which a Telecom connection is critical to their mission. 

As time allows, the Story of a successful Internet Business, Telecommunications Carrier Sales & Consulting, will be presented.
