just wondering I know back in the late 1990s T1 line is like Godly if you have it at home.
but now with DSL lines ging up to 3mbps or Cable, Fios goiong to around 10+mbps all 3 for around $50 bux amonth.
are there really much advantage to paying $500+ a month for a T1 line? (I haven't check the pricing recently but last time I checked around 2003 a T1 line is about $500 a month)
As far as I know T1 line
- 1.5mbps (guaranteed)
- Can be mutiplex into voice lines.
- Higher tier of support service incase of down time.
I can understand the higher level of support incase of the line being down. but..
- for $150 a month you can get DSL, CABLE, FIOS and I'm sure it's pretty unlikely all 3 will be down in one shot.
maybe I'm out of it but can someone explain the need for T1 lines or what is still so special about it that companies are still using it?
also what about ISDN? god knows if any company still uses that. I once through about getting that back around 1997 to run my BBS but they charge by the meg...
