Broadband Access / Lease Lines


For businesses that need faster speeds, especially faster upstream speeds, with higher reliability and priority for repair, Raw Bandwidth offers enterprise-grade service over a variety of technologies.  We primarily sell Internet access, however we can also provide private line services to create a private data network linking two or more physical locations for you.  For private line services, in many cases we can mix-and-match technologies to use the most cost-effective and appropriate access technology at each location while still allowing them to communicate transparently, including multi-point configurations.


Ethernet Internet Access and Ethernet Private Lines

Ethernet services encompass a variety of technologies including e.SHDSL-based and other flavors of Ethernet over Copper (EoC), Ethernet over TDM, and fiber-based Ethernet services. Even when a special access device is needed at the customer premise, the handoff at your premise is a traditional Ethernet connection, and generally the underlying technology carries Ethernet frames into our network.  For private line services, we can connect multiple sites via a single access circuit at each site and the use of VLANs.


This service is provided on contract basis.  Typical contract terms include:

  • Speed plans: 1.5, 3, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 75, 100Mbps and beyond, or custom
  • Symmetric speeds typically provided (upload and download the same speed)
  • Native IPv6 available
  • Internet access pricing starts as low as $199.95/mo
  • Free installation (potentially inside wire costs depending on existing house wiring and landlord's policies)
  • Managed/loaner termination equipment (CPE) when needed
  • Implementation can be as quick as one week in some locations!
  • 2- or 3- year term typical; other terms and month-to-month available
  • Percentage of remaining MRC early termination cost, but provisions to move service on new term with no ETF/ETL

To inquire about this service, please email us your location(s) and let us know what you're looking to achieve.  You can also call us at (650) 802-8006.


T-1 / NxT-1 / DS3 / OCn

Traditional T-1 (1.5Mbps symmetric) services are also available, including combining multiple T-1s into a faster link (NxT-1, ie. 3.0, 4.5, 6.0Mbps, etc.).  We only encourage their use where Ethernet services aren't available or are more expensive.


This service is provided on a contract basis.  Typical terms include:

  • Speed plans: 1.5Mbps, or Multiples of 1.5Mbps (3.0Mbps, 4.5Mbps, 6.0Mbps, etc.) for T-1 and NxT-1 services, 45Mbps for DS3 services, 100Mbps and up for OCn services
  • Speeds are symmetric for 45Mbps or less (upload and download the same speed), and usually for > 45Mbps but it may be practical to offer asymmetric speeds in some circumstances
  • Native IPv6 available
  • Very competitive pricing; pricing is location dependent
  • Equipment provided by customer, but we can help you source and configure at no charge; managed/loaner equipment subject to negotiation
  • Typical installation for T-1 -based services is 4-6 weeks, but in some cases as quickly as three weeks
  • Installation times for DS3 and up tend to run 60+ days
  • 1- or 2- year terms for T-1 -based services, 2- year and longer terms for DS3 and OCn; other term lengths negotiable
  • Percentage of remaining MRC for early termination cost, but provisions to move service on a new term with no ETF/ETL
