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.

Medical Imaging Transmission Bandwidth
Medical images, such as those generated by Teleradiology equipment, have large file sizes due to high resolution. Rapid transmission between hospitals and medical centers requires high availability, high bandwidth telecommunication services. For smaller offices or infrequent use, a T1 data line or bonded T1 lines might suffice. For medium and larger facilities, DS3, Fast Ethernet and OCx fiber optic services are recommended.

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.

How Does DS3 differ from T3?
The terms DS3 and T3 are often used interchangeably. Both refer to a TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) digital telecom service operating at 45 Mbps. Strictly speaking, DS3 is the digital signal level that can be carried by either copper or fiber physical links. T3 is the T-Carrier standard for DS3 over coaxial copper service.

What is Fractional DS3 Service?
Fractional DS3, as the name implies, is a fraction of the full DS3 bandwidth of 45 Mbps. Companies order fractional DS3 when they don't need or want to pay for the full bandwidth offered by DS3. Even with fractional DS3, you still need the full coaxial or optical hardware support for 45 Mbps signaling. At low fractional requirements, bonded T1 lines offer a more cost effective solution.
