T1 |

FullChannel
T1 provides you with 1.544 Mbps of bandwidth over a non-shared,
non-fractional leased line. FullChannel T1 also comes with
a variety of pricing plans. You can choose "price-protected"
monthly billing, where your bill is fixed each month, or our
"usage-based" billing option, which bases your monthly
bill on traffic samples taken every five minutes -- allowing
you to pay for only the bandwidth that you use.
|
| FlexChannel
T1 |
|
With FlexChannel
T1, you pay for what you need. Match your bandwidth and your
usage with a predetermined level (128 Kbps, 256 Kbps, 384
Kbps, 512 Kbps, 768 Kbps) of bandwidth set at a fixed monthly
fee. The remainder of the T1 is reserved for you, so that
you can easily upgrade to a full T1 later at any time. This
allows you to start with a low monthly price and grow your
bandwidth as your business grows. Upgrades are quick, easy
and hassle free.

| MulitTier
T1 |
|
Have you
outgrown your T1 but can't justify the cost of a full T3?
Multi-T1 Dedicated Internet Access provides 3 Mbps of speed
through multiple T1 lines bonded together into a single router.
With flat-rate billing, this is the multi-megabit bandwidth
solution you've been asking for.

Our Quality
of Service guarantees cover your network service from end-to-end
whether you're connecting to the Internet or to one of your
remote offices on our network. The most competitive in the
industry, our Service Level
Agreements cover the three most
important quality issues: throughput, latency and packet loss.
Throughput
is the sustained rate of traffic you can push through your
connection with minimal packet loss. Because we guarantee
100% of your throughput, you will always have the full bandwidth
you pay for. Latency is the time it takes for your traffic
to transit our network. From any two points on our network,
we guarantee that the measured latency will be, on average,
80 milliseconds or less. Our less than 1% packet loss guarantee
ensures that your data will arrive intact.
|
| We
Make Installation Easy |
|
Router and
CSU installation is critical to the integrity of your network
connection. To ensure success, our network engineers will
configure and install your equipment, which you lease from
XO, onsite anywhere in the United States for a nominal fee.
This relieves you of any headaches associated with setup,
installation and configuration of hardware. We supply only
top of the line routers and hardware from Cisco Systems®
and Nortel® Networks. And, we offer Network Address Translation
(NAT) enabled routers. For more information, please contact
your sales representative.

Superior
Network Performance
|
|
The XO network
is a private IP network that connects you to the Internet
via a high-capacity, nationwide ATM backbone. Delivering performance,
reliability and security, the XO network is engineered for
low latency, low packet loss, and high network availability
and throughput. Rigorously engineered for business-critical
operations, our network comprises a mesh of redundantly engineered
OC-3, OC-12 and OC-48 circuits that connect with more than
60 nationwide SuperPOPs to one another and to the Internet.
Widely dispersed data centers provide an additional layer
of redundancy, ensuring the integrity of your connection.

A
Fast, Reliable Internet Connection
|
|
As one of
the few fully peered, facilities-based, Tier 1 Internet backbone
providers in both the United States and Europe, XO has hundreds
of private peering arrangements in most major metropolitan
areas at speeds of up to OC-12. By taking advantage of our
private peering relationships with virtualy all major Internet
providers, you can route your customers around congested public
peering points, giving them reliable connectivity and optimum
speed and throughput. And, with self-healing SONET metro fiber
rings and a meshed SuperPOP network architecture, we can provide
redundancy and high availability to you and your customers.
