Business customers looking for higher bandwidth solutions have options that overlap in pricing, features and emphasis. Business customers incurring Bell-Atlantic ISDN metered usage charges may find Frame Relay an attractive alternative if their Bell-Atlantic bill is over $250/month. Frame provides a 24/7 PVC (permanent virtual circuit) connection to Channel 1 and the Internet, has no metered charges and can be upgraded to T-1 speeds.

Even Frame Relay customers may benefit from a virtual or collocated server, placing their site nearer to the Internet and further from their network. $39-$500.
