T1 Internet Access

ACC Business is a division of AT&T and as such has access to all of ATT's Point of Presence (POPs). ACC is available throughout the contiguous US-48 and if you're within 50 miles of an ATT POP you'll benefit from very low loop charges. ACC is on a Tier 1 provider so there's no need to backhaul information. Itrastate call times are rounded to the 4th decimal so firms that make a lot of short-term calls benefit most. Rates are reasonable and ACC call centers permit predictive dialers.

Broadwing Communications offers a variety of T1 plans, from bundled-T1 packages to full local data and voice service.
