Before investigating what DS3 line speed is, it is first necessary to establish a foundation to what a DS3 consists of. A DS3 line can also be referenced as a T3 line and it is nothing more than a leased private dedicated line that goes from an office to the Internet Service Provider or otherwise known as the ISP. Usually, a DS3 circuit will work out to be the same as 28 DS1/T1 connections and the DS3 utilizes digital signals that are transmitted from fiber-optic cables at extremely high symmetrical speeds (45 Megabits per second).

A DS3 line is a standard that is being used in North America and also in Japan because of it can handle hundreds of 64 kilobits per second voice conversations. The T3 line has more than enough bandwidth to handle all kinds of real time content, whether it be video or large amounts of other types of data.

In comparison to a T1 line that can only handle about twenty-four simultaneous voice communications or 1.544 megabits per second of bandwidth, the DS3 line can handle six hundred and seventy-two voice communications concurrently and it can also offer high speed internet connectivity in the range of forty-five million bits per second.

When you start to figure out the cost of making full use of DS3 line speed, it is important to note that the DS3/T3 ISP will charge you according to distance from the CO or Central Office. This means that in case you are established further from the CO of your ISP (Internet Service Provider), you will be charged more for your DS3 service. In addition to this cost your ISP is also going to charge you for use of bandwidth which will increase your costs further. The 2 charges that will be incurred is the local loop and local access.

To put it all in perspective, the T3 line is one that offers amazingly fast speeds which is certainly necessary for present day needs.
