T1 is only 1.5 Mbps up/down. The upload is good, but the download speed doesn't cut it nowadays. The real plus with T1 is reliability. My service at home is terrible, I need to get cable in here. I'm getting 3.5 Mbps down on Embarq DSL. I was working at a huge data center in town yesterday, the office network there has a 100Mbps connection to the web. I was in heaven. That is really nothing though compared to the bandwidth that goes through that building, 800Gbps. Yes, you read that right. 800,000,000Kbps. http://www.switchnap.com/ - I was working at the SuperNAP - highest density data center in the world. The place takes more electricity than three of the mega-casinos on the strip combined.
