One of the advantages of VoIP is that voice and Internet services are delivered over the same local loop access circuit using the Internet Protocol (IP).

An Internet T3 (also spelled Internet T-3) is a broadband Internet connection that transfers signals at a rate of 45 Mbps. Both Internet T1 and T3 services are highly-reliable circuits that are usually guaranteed by a Service Level Agreement.

Voice over IP (VoIP) sends voice data in packets using the Internet Protocol (IP) instead of analog waves as does plain old telephone service (POTS) lines.

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

MPLS is a standardized data switching technology that optimizes network traffic flow and eases management of data networks. MPLS carves specific paths data packets that are identified by a label that saves the time needed for a router to look up the address to the next node in order to forward the packet. MPLS works with the Internet Protocol (IP), Asynchronous Transport Mode (ATM), and frame relay network protocols. MPLS allows most packets to be forwarded at the layer 2 (switching) level rather than at the layer 3 (routing) level and makes it easy to manage quality of service (QoS).

Internet access via Ethernet is becoming more and more popular to meet the growing demand for dynamic high bandwidth increases. For example, an increase from 10 to 100 Mbps can be accomplished by a High Speed Internet over Ethernet provider by simple changing the settings on already installed Ethernet switches. This scalability is cost effective for customers in that bandwidth can be increased or decreased quickly and easily, on demand, without the necessity of adding or changing datacom equipment as would be required with T1 / T3 or E1 / E3 local access lines.

Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) connects end users (subscribers) to the Internet via a plain old telephone service (POTS) line that uses an existing copper pair but has been sped up by a Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) located at the service provider centeral office (CO) to form a continuous digital high-speed data connection from the customer premise to the Internet.

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