I have used Cable and Dsl for a while now and I just hate the slow upload speeds. I am just wondering, bu what are the differences in T1 and ADsl/Cable? Would I actualy get 1.5 megs up and down transfer rate ( actual 1500kps )? T1 is expencive, is it worth the prices?

t1 is better suited to a large number of transactions. you will get the same speed up as you do down. but you can get that with buisness class dsl.

So, On my cable i get 3 megs down (400 kps). If it was a 3meg/3meg T1 I would get 400 up and down correct?

no, there is no such thing as a 3 meg t1. its 1.5. you would get 1.5 up and down.

There is a 3meg T1... Look around, Its 2 T1 line paird up. Im looking to a fractional T1. I will probably get 512/512. Thanks for the info.

you do realise thats only about 60 KB up and down right? thats really slow for what you must be paying for it.

I asked earlyer if it translates down into an actual low transfer rate. Thats all I wanted to know. T1 is pointless below 1 meg then, besides the fact that it is higher quality and such. Thank you.
