• What is Bonded T1?
  
  A T1 is an industry-standard 1.5 Mbps circuit used to carry voice and data packets. Bonded T1 consists of up to four 1.5 Mbps T1 circuits that behave as one circuit. Speeds are available up to 6.0 Mbps.
• How does Bonded T1 work?
  
  Speakeasy Bonded T1 uses inverse multiplexing to utilize the full capacity of the bonded circuit. Inverse multiplexing (IMUX) divides traffic from a single bit stream among multiple circuits. This means that traffic from a single source is distributed across the individual circuits to make use of the 3 Mbps, 4.5 Mbps, or 6.0 Mbps of bandwidth.
• Where is Bonded T1 available??
  
  Speakeasy T1 and Bonded T1 services are available nationwide in major metropolitan markets including: Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, New Jersey/New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington DC.
