Apples and oranges. A T-1 provides 24 64 Kb/s channels. If you purchase the full T-1 you get a combined speed of 1.544 Mb/s. But you must specify voice or data. If you purchase the data you get the full 1.544 speed for data only. If you purchase the voice you get 24 voice channels and no data. You need to contact a telco rep for the full story and what is avaiable.
DSL is indeed an option but the speed is not guaranteed. With a T-1 it is. With ADSL you get one voice connection per line and with a router you can share the data portion.

Hello All,
I have a trivial question about T1 lines.
If a company buys a T1 line (24 channels),if only one user is surfing the web, does it have the whole bandwidth available?
And if 24 people were all simultaneously on the phone, would any of them be able to surf the web? At what speed?
Wouldn't it be better to buy a dsl line (same 1.5Mbps) and share it among users?
thanx
