Point to Point circuits, also known as Private Lines, are circuits that are utilized as connectivity between two locations. Customers can utilize this technology to connect host and remote location or locations in a secure dedicated connection WAN instead of using a service like FRS (Frame Relay Service) or ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode).

Point to point circuits can also be used by the customer to connect to a provider's POP for DIA or dedicated voice applications when provisioned through their RBOC or LEC as a "customer provided loop".

This allows the customer to maintain control of their connectivity with the ability to move to a different provider POP if necessary.

Each point to point circuit is distance sensitive, meaning that the price for the circuit will be dependant on the mileage between the two locations that are to be connected. Point to point circuits can be provisioned in full bandwidth allocations ranging from T1/DS1 (1.544Mbps) to OC48 (2488Mbps).
