Connections to the Internet

Connections to the Internet are the 5th of five key components of Internet Service that can be provided by DIR through TEX-AN 2000 contracts. DIR has procured several methods of connecting to the Internet: If a customer's solution includes data transport services provided by either AT&T or SWB, DIR has contracts with these companies that can be used when price and availability are to the advantage to the customer.

The normal DIR solution is to arrange for data transport (through AT&T or SWB) back to the Network Operations Center in Austin where DIR maintains very large, robust connections to the Internet. These very large connections tie into the regional, national and international Internet network. Thus, eligible customers can consider DIR to be their ISP (or Internet Service Provider).

DIR can provide these various services related to the Internet:

  • Dial-Up connections for CapNet users
  • Internet Service Provider - ISP
  • Small Capacity Internet Connectivity like DS-0, ISDN, BRI and PRIs
  • Fractional T-1 and Full T-1 Internet Connectivity
  • Very High Bandwidth Internet Connectivity like DS-3, OC-3 and OC-12. and even OC-48s

For questions or for additional information, please contact TSD's Solutions Center at 512-463-7800.
