A T1 broadband connection for the price of DSL? I don't believe it.

A T1 connection is a snail compared to a jet fighter in comparison to this connection...

Qwest offered my business a T1 for $200 per month a few weeks ago.

I turned them down because their email servers lost about 10% of our emails when I used them.

A T1 is 1.44 Megabytes/second. It’s like having a 1200 baud connection when you can have cable or DSL.

What's funny to me here is 10 years ago only telecomtechnogeeks like me even knew what a T1 was. Now, everybody wants a T1 in their living room.....

I hate to tell you, but most DSL services will offer higher connection rates (at least downstream) than T1. T1 (actually DS1) is roughly 1Mb/s. Most DSL services I've seen offer 1.5Mb/s downstream, 384Kb/s upstream for far less.

Actually, most of the civilized world has much better broadband than we do here in the US.

I basically have a "T1" with my current DSL connection. I get 1.5Mbps download, 384Kbps upload. You probably do too.

Hell, the DS3 circuits at the office are only about 45Mbps each.

I don't know what you'd call this link that she's got!
