T1 = 1.535 mbps

24 8 bit channels each 64kbps

expensive. average T1 line is $200.00 USD per month

you get and are assured of 1.535 mbps traffic on a T1. something you don't get a DSL/Cable line.

DSL = depends on the provider. you can get 3 mbps down and 756 kbps up for about 1/3 the price. $60.00 USD for a static address.

a T1 maxes out at about 1500 mb a month in data transfer, where most dsl providers allow for 15 times that.
[from the last time I looked at T1 lines, they maxed at that. ]

Here in Michigan to get a business cable modem with static IP it is about $200/month.

And yes, the upload is MUCH smaller than what you get with the T1.

DSL/CABLE will still be about half of a T1 line, but will not be as subject to slowdowns from the kids getting home and taking up much of the providers bandwidth.

here, cable is 167/mo for a business account, but they screw you over on data transfer capacity. [ max is 4 GB / mo, after that they cut off access ]
With zero provision to purchase higher data transfer.

the telco's adsl systems, are about the same cost, with only slightly better data transfer allotment, but a cost per GB over that available.

plus 4pk additional static IP addresses, 204.99.

Have never seen anything about bandwidth restrictions.

looking to change our internet from our Frame provider to the cable modem. right now only my department has access to the cable modem (for patches and downloads, don'tchaknow? ;\ )

here in California basic Business DSL account with a static address is about $60.00 a month that's with 1.5 mbps down 384 kbps up. Dynamic address runs about $40.00 per month

Verizon consumer DSL line in Los Angeles 3 mbps down 768 kbps up dynamic IP runs about $35.00 per month.

the $200.00 T1 line was just average price I found online from a non brand name provider.
