dcbnet.com — "T1 is a high speed digital network (1.544 mbps) developed by AT&T in 1957 and implemented in the early 1960's to support long-haul pulse-code modulation (PCM) voice transmission. The primary innovation of T1 was to introduce "digitized" voice and to create a network fully capable of digitally...."

What I don't get is howcome digital cable can carry 400+ digital tv channels over a coax line, but I have to hook up an HDTV with 20 different cables. On the same note, howcome I only get 1.5mbps download on cable? Can't they double/triple or more the bandwidth by taking away crap channels like MTV?

This is stupid people comparing T1 to cable, hell even DSL cant stand a chance.You forget that with T1 you are given a SLA of almost 99.99% up time, and that its a direct connection. No one else line to mess with your. No finger pointing if something goes bad, unlike Cable or DSL.Also, unless cable has changed its tech you are on a LAN as just like at home, and everyone can see your traffic. I dont think people using T1 would want that.And cable your coming over your normal phone copper, again something you dont want if your running a server.At our work we used an ADSL line as testing for a server (we are a small biz BTW) and one day our CO did a DB upgrade and boom we where with no DSL for almost 4 weeks. We now use SDSL as we get 99.99% SLA, its still no T1 but it leaps and bounds over ADSL. You go have fun with your cable modems fragging ppl in CS, but when you need to do some serious work T1 is what is called for. Oh and BTW, check your ToS on your cable modem, see what it says about servers.

For all those making the comparison from T1 to your home broadband, besides the uptime and throughput guarantee differences, also keep in mind that the T-carriers are going to be full-duplex, whereas cable, DSL, etc are half-duplex. This (among other things) is an important distinction between residential and professional local loop technologies.
