Why are T1's so expensive?

When you can get business-rate lines from cable and DSL for a fraction of the costs - including synchronus streams.
 
You think T1s are expensive... just wait till you pick up a T1000. I hear they're great personal assistants if you need a few people "offed" though.
 
Oh shoot. That reminds me that I have to do some networking homework. That was actually one of the questions I'm supposed to answer.
 
If your $100/month DSL goes down at the same time as someone else's $1000/month T1 which do you think gets priority?

BellSouth, for example, has commit times upwards of 48 hours on DSL versus commit times of 1 hour for a T1 facility. Plus the SLAs guarantee more.
 
Not to mention, isnt a T1 almost like having 24 dedicated phone lines running to one location??? Its not like having 1 dsl phone connection or cable connection.
 
I think it is due to the number of simultaneous connections on one line... 256 IP Addresses for business users.

A T1 can be provisioned for all kinds of things. You could have 8 voice lines, 8 channels for a PTP and maybe 8 channels for Internet or any variation of that.

Also, a T1 ties up expensive facilities that the telco can't sell to anyone else.

A modern T1 line is going to be HDSL. Repeaters every mile to the CO but otherwise very similar to a standard SDSL minus the SLA.
