DSL Feedback:
You wouldn’t want one, they’re slower (at least downstream is) than cable or DSL, and they generally cost more. It’s more of a business connection, rather than a residential.
DSL Feedback: A T1 connection is a 24-channel circuit providing an internet connection straight from the providers backbone. This makes a T1 line a very stable and reliable broadband connection. The speed is generally around 1.5 MBPS. The cost is around 200-250 per month depending on the carrier. A T-1 line is generally good for a small business or 25-40 or so connections. Probably a bit more than you need into a home. A big advantage if you are maintaining a large graphics oriented web site, for instance, is that uploads and downloads generally run at the same speed.
