One of the advantages of VoIP is that voice and Internet services are delivered over the same local loop access circuit using the Internet Protocol (IP).

An Internet T1 (also spelled Internet T-1) is a high-speed digitally transmitted connection to the Internet that transfers signals at 1.544 Mbps (1,544,000 bits per second) that can be divided into twenty-four 64 Kbps telephone lines or trunks.

Hosted Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a voice and data technology that supports several telecommunications protocols, such as Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and Internet Protocol (IP), that that makes it easy for people to use the Internet to make telephone calls while saving money on premise hardware.

The ADSL downstream receiving rate from the Internet usually varies from 1.5 to 9Mbps while the upstream sending rate usually varies from 16 to 640 Kbps.

The main limitation on DSL bandwidth speed is the distance from the customer premise to the local telephone company central office.

MPLS network is particularly important to businesses running applications that require latency such as VoIP, ERP, SAP, etc.

High Speed Internet Access via Ethernet local access connects end user Ethernet local area networks (LANs) to the Internet over a metropolitan wide area networks (WANs) at speeds ranging from 1 megabit per second (Mbps) up to 1 gigabit per second (Gbps). Internet access via Ethernet is an "always on", flat-rate service that offers faster, more cost effective Internet access than is available through traditional telecommunication access technologies such as T1 / T3 or E1 / E3 connections.

Asymetric DSL (ADSL) allows more bandwidth to move data toward the end user (multimedia and text) than from the end user (mostly keystrokes and mouse behavior) to the Internet.

Exlpore why Ethernet is probably the next killer broadband delivery platform.

MPLS can be used to facilitate layer 3 IP VPNs, layer 2 VPNs, Quality of Service (QoS), Class of Service (CoS) and to guarantee Service Level Agreements.
