Here's an update for you. After contacting the tech support for my ISP, I found out that they had us in the system as a default account (1.5 down and 384 up). We are being billed for the 1.5 synchronis connection but were not receiving what we were paying for. They've changed the settings now for our correct connection. Now I'm trying to get credited for the extra $10 a month we've had to pay for the last 3 years for the better upload.

Reasons for going to T1:
1) SLA's are generally MUCH better. Most Tier 1 providers (AT&T, UUNet) provide 4-hour response SLA's. Restoration SLA's for broadband are often "best effort" which means you could be down 24 hours or more. 2) Most broadband providers don't guarantee passage of IPSec (VPN) traffic and some even filter them. This won't be an issue with a T1. 3) Standard oversubscription rates across the industry for time-division multiplexed networks (ie. anything other than cable) are much higher for DSL than for T1. Residential DSL is often 12:1 or 16:1, business DSL 8:1 or 10:1. T1's can be as low as 4:1. |

A T1 is 24 channels with a total of 56k each for 1.54Mb total. If you have a 756k download going right now you have only 756k left for either up or down transfer. He would have 756k of down left and still have his full 1.5 up available with his current setup. |

A T1 is full-duplex. I can transmit 1.5Mb and receive 1.5Mb simultaneously. |

But the biggest benefit isn't really being on the backbone, it's the service level agreements. |

I used to install T1s and PRIs for voice all the time and never gave a crap about the total bandwidth so long as it carried the voice and didn't echo. |
