T1 Internet for Business
T1 is a symmetrical connection (upload and download are the same) which consistently provides 1.5Mbps, with no speed lost based on distance from a CO, like ADSL. It also has excellent reach, getting to locations that many other access technologies can’t.
If reliability of your Internet connection is crucial to your business and you need to ensure 1.5 Mbps bandwidth up and down, T1 is a great choice.
Virtutone's T1 Internet Features:
- 1.5 Mbps symmetrical connection to the Internet
- Includes CPE, local loop, bandwidth and Internet usage, with no extra charges
- Up to 32 static IP addresses
- 24 x7 Support
- Dedicated account manager that knows your and your business
- 99.9% availability and 4-hour repair SLA guarantee
ADSL speed is dependent on a number of different factors. We’ll explain them here and let you know what Virtutone does to ensure you get the maximum speed possible.
The chart below shows the maximum port speeds available in each of Virtutone’s serving areas. They differ because each ILEC (aka the “phone company”) has slightly different ADSL services.
| Region |
Download Speed (up to) |
Upload Speed (up to) |
| BC/Alberta |
6.0 Mbps |
1.0 Mbps |
Ontario/Quebec |
6.0 Mbps |
800 Kbps |
Saskatchewan |
7.0 Mbps |
640 Kbps |
Manitoba |
5.0 Mbps |
400 Kbps |
Atlantic |
5.0 Mbps |
640 Kbps |
*Some rural areas have lower port speeds than those listed in the table.
Due to technical limitations, the actual maximum speed is about 80 - 85% of the port speed in the table. For example, on a 5.0Mbps connection in Winnipeg, the max possible on a speed test is about 4.25Mbps. The quality of the telephone line and the distance you are located from the telephone company central office (CO) also factor in to determine your actual speed. The better the line and closer you are to a CO, the closer you will get to reaching maximum speed.
While we can’t pick up your business and move it closer to a CO, there are a few things that Virtutone can do to ensure you get the highest speed possible:
- We will not “shape” or throttle the traffic so as to reduce the highest speed possible, unless doing so will increase the stability of the circuit
- We don't have home users, so our network doesn't get clogged up with people trying to download mp3s and watch home videos while you run your business
- You don’t share bandwidth with others in your neighbourhood, like cable
- We have multiple Internet connections to distribute traffic and alleviate congestion

Wireless
Business doesn’t wait for you to get to the office. You have to be connected wherever you are. Stay connected on the go, across Canada and the U.S.
Virtutone offers wireless internet for both primary network connections and backup network connections, through the largest 3G/4G network in Canada. (see coverage map below) Each solution has a set of management tools built in to help you manage your connections.
Primary Network Connections
Persistent high-speed IP network connectivity has become a mainstay for productivity. Most consumers and businesses can take advantage of low-cost cable and DSL connection options; where those provider networks do not exist, or may be too expensive, today’s 3G wireless cellular networks provide an excellent alternative.
Backup Network Connections
When business relies on maintaining a constant network connection, having a reliable backup connection is just as essential. Using the wireless network for that backup makes great sense. Since cellular carrier networks are separated from the DSL or Cable provider, a wireless cellular backup provides the perfect out-of-band (OOB) backup and remote management solution. The 'off-copper' and 'off-network' nature of wireless makes more sense than using a dialup phone line or ISDN connection, and it is now more cost effective.
Automation Solutions
Virtutone offers a completely automated solution that will automatically fail over if in the event of a DSL or cable internet outage. The Virtutone solution comes equipped with a built in WAN port for your DSL cable internet connection. The system comes complete with a management tool that allows you to manage your connections. Automatic failover, delayed failover, load balancing and many more features are built in.
