DS3 Prices Continued.

DS3 price is determined by market conditions, cost of facilities, and most important, distance from the point of presence (PoP) of the quoting provider. The further a business is from the PoP, the more it costs to extend a DS3 circuit to this business. Another aspect of DS3 price is the “build-out” of proper wiring to and at the served premise. DS3 requires special wiring. Most businesses are not properly wired, or “lit” for DS3. In these cases, installation of appropriate wiring can cost thousands of dollars. If the end user needs less than 12 mbps, bonded DS1 (bonded T1) can be a much less expensive alternative. Since a bonded DS1 circuit only requires two pairs of phone lines, it can be installed free of charge to virtually any business location in the US. If your business premise is wired for DS3 (lit), then full DS3 can provide substantial savings for bandwidths over 12 mbps. If more than 12 mbps is needed but a full DS3 is not, fractional or burstable DS3 are often more cost effective options. However, with any form of DS3, the cost of build-out will be a reality if the building which will be served is not lit. Because the cost of build-out cannot be determined without much assessment by trained technicians, build-out charges are very seldom included with DS3 quotes. Most major providers will not endure the expense of build-out assessment until after the customer commits to a signed application. Commonly, if build-out proves to be too expensive, then the application is terminated without cost to the customer. Regardless of cost of build-out, because price per mbps for full DS3 is commonly less than half than price per mbps of T1, the resulting monthly savings compensates for DS3 build-out costs within a few months.
