What is DS3?
DS3 or Digital Signal level 3 is a standardized TDM service offering a bandwidth of 45 Mbps. It may be delivered over SONET fiber optic service or over copper coaxial cable. When delivered over copper, the line is generally referred to as a T3 line.

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.

Difference Between DSL and DS3
DSL means Digital Subscriber Line and is a shared bandwidth service offered on a "best effort" basis by telephone companies. DS3 is a professional telecom service with a fixed bandwidth of 45 Mbps both upload and download. DS3 is usually sold with on a contract with a service level agreement.
