Are we meeting our goal of becoming the number 1 place to shop for DS3 lines in the world? See what our customers have to say about their experience with us: "Selecting a provider was simple because the work was already done for us. We're saving more than we thought we could thanks to RealTimeDS3.com." Todd Leishman "We found RealTimeDS3.com via a Web Search in Google while shopping for reliable/competitive DS3 lines. Adam Edwards, a RealTimeDS3 consultant, asked me questions without selling anything and then delivered an array of options with pros and cons for each. I've dealt with many types of vendors as a "decision maker" for multiple companies and RealTimeDS3.com is a model for success. Needless to say we are in the process of converting all of our data lines throughout the country with the help of RealTimeDS3.com." Todd Kawai "RealTimeDS3.com provided us with multiple options allowing us to compare quotes and select the best service for our needs. We were also pleased with the post-sales support RealTimeDS3 gave us when we needed help getting our rebates and coordinating our provisioning." Joju Sebastian "The nature of our business demands a reliable DS3 service. RealTimeDS3.com helped us find a Tier 1 service provider and negotiated a lower price than the vendor would have given to us if we went direct. Sunder Isaac "We found RealTimeDS3.com to be a very convenient and cost effective way to find new Voice and Data Service. Within 1-2 seconds there were quotes from 5-6 different providers. The RealTimeDS3 folks were very helpful in explaining the pros and cons of the different services they were representing." Tony Calisi |

Written by: Patrick Oborn - Mar 14, 2010 Like most telecommunications services, DS3 prices (commonly known as T3) have been falling for the last few years. This is due to several factors. Competition has been heating up since deregulation in 1996. The number of companies offering service has exploded. With more competition in the marketplace, service providers have to reduce their prices to attract customers and keep them from going to competitors. Service providers are desperate to keep margins, but even more desperate to keep adding customers. This competetive arena has created a buyers market for DS3 lines and pricing is as favorable as it has ever been! The soft economy and crash of the stock market has also contributed to the reduction in DS3 price. Since the peak of the market in 1999 many companies have gone out of business and no longer require service. This means there's a smaller pie available and there are plenty of telecom providers trying to get their share. Once again, the buyer is in control and can shop until he or she finds the price that is right for them. A final reason for the reduction in DS3 pricing is the fact that equipement costs and the cost of supplying the bandwidth have decreased. This means that companies can supply the bandwidth at a lower cost. As bandwidth usage continues to increase as a result of bandwidth hungry applications like video on demand and graphic heavy applications, the price of bandwidth will coninue to drop. The only factor that seems likely to inhibit prices from falling much further is the "last mile" or the connection from the users premise to the service providers' POP (Point of Presence), but we'll save this issue for another article. Until then, enjoy those affordable DS3's and good luck finding a price that's right for you! |
