I can only speak from aDSL experience, but the problem that you have with it
compared to a T1 is that the aDSL line has a certain pipe size at the ISP,
this pipe is shared over all of the DSL customers... what this means is that
if you have an ISP that has a small amount of DSL pipe, and sells it to
loads of customers, then your speed is dependant on the concurrent usage by
all customers
Note sure if it works that way in the States, but that's how it is with the
UK ISPs I've spoken to...
