which part, having a t1? what benefit for a residential user?

 

[AyashiKaibutsu]

I think my school uses t1s... I pay like 34k a year total expenses...

At the office we have a T1 for $800 a month. We got an exceptionally good deal on it.

10 cable, 10 DSL costing 400-500/month could get you much more speed then T1
3.0/384= 30mbps/3.84mbps
1.5mbps is pathetic IMHO, the only plus is symetrical speed.

Technically we actually own 6 T1s although only one gets us to the internet. We need the guaranteed symetrical speed. Occasionally getting bumped down to 512mb just won't cut it for us.

Yeah, it's a really cool camera. You can get one for around $500 I think.

That's the key, DOWN not UP. Plus do you always and I mean always get 1.5mbps down, or occasionaly do you get less than that?

Uh, a T1 isn't 100Mb...

That's why you get Symmetrical DSL!
SDSL, rather than ADSL.

I'd honestly rather have 1.5mbps/1.5mbps than 3mbps/384kbps.

At work (engineering center at my university) we're on quad OC48s. It's awesome.

I find downstream far more important. I never upload large files.... ever. I have no need to. Give me 40 megabit downstream and 14 kilobite upstream. I don't give a damn.

 

[Kibbo]

I've got 3mb down/600+up. Very happy.

You would if you had 14 KB upstream. Want to attach something to an e-mail? Hold on, that'll be about 10 seconds. There are just too many corner cases where that just won't cut it. Sure, it'll be fine 99.5% of the time, but when it IS a problem, it will be a big annoyance.

i rather have 1.5m/1.5m than my 6.0m/600k.

If he wants T1, most likely he wants to run his own server.
I run an ftp server and 384 is fine for me, it might get a tad slow when 3 people is downloading at once.
But I'd definitely take 1.5/1.5 over 3/384

exactly.

I looked at some sites and a t1 is nowhere near $800/mo?? unless i'm missing something??

anyone here actualy have a residential t1 that can shed some light? cost, max speed/$. I know there are different t1 packages that companies offer.

***The above pricing is for the monthly port charges. Contact us below by

How much are local loop access charges? Anyone know about that? If I had that figure then I could get a better idea of total cost.

 

[n0cmonkey]

I'd pay the extra money if I could. The TOS and better uptime alone would be worth it.

I'm impatiently waiting for Verizon FIOS.
