Full, Burstable, and Fractional T3 Service

Rewards for T1 Referrals! Details for T1 Referrals

For mission-critical connectivity, Panix offers a full range of T3 options. All T3 services include:

Routing - Panix will allocate a range of IP addresses for your network. If you have your own independent IP space, or a subnet from another provider, we can route that instead. Multihoming and other advanced configurations are also possible, sometimes at additional cost.
24-hour monitoring - All Panix customer circuits are monitored 24x7. In the event of an outage, our engineers are immediately notified, and will begin working to restore your service right away.
Domain Name Service - Panix will provide primary or secondary DNS (domain name service) for up to 16 domains at no charge. Name service for additional domains is available; see T3 Add-Ons.
Newsfeed - Panix will supply an optional newsfeed for USENET newsgroups of your choice, at no extra charge. This requires a working NNTP server on your network.
Complimentary single-user account with PPP and shell access to Panix, for administrative use.
One-year contract - The minimum term for this service is one year.

Note that Local Loop (telco) charges are not included. They are usually large. See below for details.

Addons

We offer the following add-ons:

Local Loop (Leased-Line)

T3 costs have two components - a charge for the physical line (known as the "local loop") which connects you to us, and a charge for the bandwidth that you want to use on the line (which can range from 3 Mbps to 45 Mbps). The bandwidth fees are listed above.

The local loop is usually delivered by the phone company, but some locations are also served by other carriers (such as Time Warner or Level3). Other carriers are usually cheaper than the phone company, and easier to deal with as well.

For most locations in Manhattan, local loop prices will vary from $800 to $2000 monthly. Unless your building is served by alternate carriers, expect a minimum of $1500. Locations outside Manhattan are usually more expensive.

If you would like a quote that includes the local loop, please send email to [email protected]. Please include a phone number physically at the site where the T3 will be delivered, the full address, and include the suite or office number.
