An Internet T1 (or T-1 line) is a digital, dedicated local access connection supporting data rates of 1.544 Megabits Per Second (Mbps) that can be channelized into 24 individual channels that each provide 64 Kilobits Per Second (Kbps).

Voice over IP is a digital phone service that allow users to make calls across the public switched telephone network (PSTN) via the Internet. By using a high speed Internet connection and a VoIP phone or analog telephone adapter (ATA), a user receives the same type of phone service as plain old telephone service (POTS) plus many additional features. For example, find me / follow me allow a user to enter all of the phone numbers the user wants to ring when the user's VoIP phone number is called. If you are at home, at the office, or on your mobile phone, all of your phones can be rung in succession or at the same time using VoIP!

Ethernet can be used to connect twisted copper pair networks and to connect fiber optic cable networks.

MPLS VPNs use Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) to set up Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) that can isolate data traffic to provide Class of Service (CoS), Quality of Service (QoS), and ease network administration with minimal network overhead. Layer 3 MPLS VPNs (L3VPNs) use BGP, traffic isolation and Virtual Routing / Forwarding (VRF) for network routing and security. MPLS VPNs are more efficient and robust than IPSec VPN, ATM, MPLS L3VPNs.

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.

DSL service is delverd as Asymmetric DSL (ADSL) which is the most common application for Internet access, where fast downstream is required, but slow upstream is acceptable, and as Symmetric DSL (SDSL) which supports high speed access across the local access loop in both directions.

You can compare MPLS to Frame Relay and ATM technologies.

If you are looking for clear, concise definitions of telecommunication terms and explanations of telecom services, especially how they are used and how they work, TelecomLInks is a great place to start.

Layer 2 MPLS VPNs (L2VPNs) are similar to Frame Relay, Asynchronous Transfer Mode, or point-to-point Wide Area Networks (WANs).
